Chelsea boss Conte: Man Utd had no idea how to contain Hazard

Published on: 05 November 2017

Chelsea boss Antonio Conte says Manchester United didn't know how to contain Eden Hazard on Sunday.

The Blues won the match 1-0, courtesy of a second-half goal from Alvaro Morata, bringing them within one point of United on the Premier League table.

Speaking after the victory, Conte heaped praise on Hazard, who starred throughout.

"I was a player and I know when you have an opponent who is a top player, you try to stop him. United tried not the best way, but the normal way to stop an important player like Hazard.

"Hazard played an amazing game. He was always involved with and without the ball, he created a good link with Morata, and with the rest of the team.

"We were always within 35 or 40 metres of each other, and the team was not stretched between the two strikers and the rest of the players."
