On Thursday, Manchester United could secure Champions League play next season and it was a chance that the team took advantage of.
Already after six minutes, the home crowd at Old Trafford took the lead, Casemiro headed in a free kick. Just before the break, Anthony Martial made it 2-0.
With 20 minutes to go, Bruno Fernandes arranged a penalty and he safely made it 3-0. After the penalty, there was a scuffle between Manchester United and Chelsea players and it took a minute or so before the atmosphere calmed down.
– Something has caused irritation in Chelsea. It’s actually pleasing to see them annoyed, Manchester United icon Gary Neville said on Sky Sports and continued:
– Chelsea is sloppy, lacks control and has no leadership.
Shortly afterwards, Chelsea defender Wesley Fofana responded to a huge mistake and that led to Marcus Rashford being able to send in 4-0.
The match ended 4-1 after a late reduction goal by Joao Felix. The Champions League place is thus marked.
– It is okay. It’s not perfect because we wanted more this season, Bruno Fernandes, referring to the title, told Sky Sports according to the BBC.
But despite securing Champions League play next autumn, there was a smolk in the Manchester United cup. Star Antony was forced off on a stretcher in the first half.
One round remains in the Premier League and it will be played this weekend.
Startelvor:
Manchester United: De Gea – Wan-Bissaka, Varane, Nilsson Lindelöf, Shaw – Casemiro, Eriksen – Antony, Bruno Fernandes, Sancho – Martial.
Chelsea: Arrizabalaga – Azpilicueta, Fofana, Chalobah, Hall – Chukwuemeka, Fernandez, Gallagher – Madueke, Havertz, Mudryk.
