Chelsea’s Eden Hazard believes the table is still open for the blues to make top four.

Speaking in a post match interview after the Sunday game at Old trafford he explained that; “A good day but could be better. We came here thinking about winning the game, a draw is not a bad result for us but I think if we believe a bit more in our chances we can score another goal. We now have two games and we will try and be in the top four

“We started slowly but today we had a reaction and scored our goal. I don’t remember one chance for them in second half and yes we just played a good game.

“The game was hard, in a good way, this Man Utd – Chelsea game is always tough.”

On importance for him to play in the Champions League: “Chelsea has to play in the Champions League every year, it’s one of biggest clubs in the world, and for myself also I want to play in the Champions League, and we will.”

‘Chelsea must play in Champions League’

After the match Ex-Leicester City & Wales midfielder who spoke live on Radio said the result is a bad for Man Utd, they were so good on the first half until that mistake by David de Gea. 1-1 is probably the fair result.

I think the point is a good point for Chelsea. The point was fair but United’s lack of threat – how many saves did Kepa make?

It looks like it’s going to be a year without Champions League football for Manchester United.
