Antonio Rudiger then blasted against the crossbar  with a vicious long-range effort before Hazard made the most of Tierney's  contentious call.   Giroud was soon the man asking questions of the officials after Joselu's  header just beat the hand of Courtois, yet the World Cup winner played a part in  the decider as Alonso latched on to his knock down and Yedlin made the crucial  error.</blockquote>
