The rivalry between Manchester United and Chelsea is more than a derby game and has spanned for over some decades now.
A game between Manchester United and Chelsea Fc will be quick to call by many following the abysmal performance of Manchester United but it’s never been so.
Ruben Amorim has been suffering to put his side together but Enzo Maresca isn’t any better.
With both teams ready to put their ‘A’ game to play, it was just a moment that decided the result.
With majority of Chelsea Fans thinking it would be an easy win Manchester United had a plan to change things around.
Right from the start of the game, United’s strategy of using counterattacking brought a great change to the game. Trevoh Chalobah after missing an aerial ball in the centre circle put his defence under a very difficult situation which saw Robert Sanchez coming off his line to stop the ball. He attempted clearance made contact with United striker Mbeumo. As much as it was a foul, the contention was where it was a goal scoring opportunity since there were two Chelsea defenders shouldering him. In a snap VAR chat Chelsea Fc were reduced to ten (10) men in the fourth minute of the the game.
Maresca was in a tight corner now and had to make drastic changes when saw Estêvão Willian and Pedro Neto coming off.
Manchester United made use of their man advantage in the 14’ when Patrick Dorgu’s header was directed into the net by Bruno Fernandez in a goal many believe was another VAR error.
Chelsea star boy Cole Palmer in the 21’ was subbed after an injury scare before United doubled their lead in the 34’ with a Casemiro header.
The Brazilian who was booked in the 14’ got his second booking with a minute to end the first half to level the man advantage.
Chelsea Fc managed a consolation goal in the 80’ also with a header to end the game 2-1 for Manchester United.
