LONDON — Eden Hazard ensured Chelsea’s lackluster season ended on a high note by securing the F.A. Cup in a 1-0 victory over Manchester United in the final on Saturday. Days after raising doubts about his Chelsea future, Hazard netted from the penalty spot in the 22nd minute at Wembley Stadium after being brought down by Phil Jones. “It was not an easy game,” Hazard said. “If we want to win a lot of games, we have to play better, because today we played defensively.”Whether Hazard remains a Chelsea player next season could depend on whether “good players” are signed in the off-season, based on the winger’s prematch comments.
