Chelsea – Manchester United 4:3
Goals: Gallagher, 4, Palmer, 19 (n), 90+10 (n), 90+11 – Garnacho, 34, 67, Fernandes, 39
Mauricio Pochettino released Mykhailo Mudryk in Chelsea’s starting line-up. In the second match in a row, the Ukrainian started the game from the first seconds, it is reported 24 Channel.
It is interesting that Chelsea plans to sell several players: is Mudryk on the list?
The teams actively started the match. Already in the 4th minute, Chelsea opened the scoring in the match 1:0. It seemed that Varane would intercept Gusto’s pass from the wing. But the center back only allowed the ball to bounce to Gallagher, who not without thinking scored in one touch.
At the beginning of the game, Mudryk also had his moment. But Mykhailo’s shot was blocked by a Manchester United player. “Blues” earned the right to a corner, which did not end in anything sharp.
Chelsea played much more dynamically in the first half. In the 19th minute, the hosts increased their advantage to two goals. There is also the merit of Mudryk, who gave a pass to Kukurelya in the penalty area. However, after a touch from Antoni, who decided to play defense, and did it unsuccessfully, Cukurella ended up on the turf – a penalty.
The 11-meter was easily implemented by Palmer. Manchester United lost already with a score of 2:0.
Midway through the first half, Mudryk had another chance. Chelsea ran into a rapid counterattack, which was created by Jackson alone. The attacker saw a run from Mykhailo. The Ukrainian processed the pass, but from a very acute angle, he did not hit the frame of Onan’s goal.
The “red devils” did not manage to respond with sharp moments and keep the “blue” goalkeeper Petrovich under tension.
Red Devils Comeback
In the 34th minute, Garnacho took a rough pass from the Chelsea player and reduced the deficit to 2:1.
After another 5 minutes, Chelsea again did not have time for the rapid counterattack of the guests. Dalot made a perfect pass to the far post, where Fernandez closed the pass beautifully with his head. Manchester United managed to quickly win another goal – 2:2. The advantage of the hosts was eliminated in 5 minutes.
At the break, the teams were tied 2:2.
The second part of the meeting began with a dangerous moment created by Maguire. And Chelsea responded with sharpness from Palmer.
In the 67th minute, Manchester United took the lead for the first time in the match. Harnacho managed to get his head past Onan after a rough pass from Antoni, who scored a penalty in his own goal in the first half – 2:3.
Mudryk spent 71 minutes on the field, but this time he did not score goals. Except that after the transfer Mykhailo Cukurelia earned a penalty for Chelsea. Instead of the Ukrainian, Sterling appeared on the flank of the attack.
No matter how hard the Chelsea players tried to save themselves from an unexpected defeat after their advantage in the score 2:0, but it was not possible to equalize the numbers on the scoreboard.
In the last seconds of the match, the referee pointed to 11 meters after Madueke fell in the visitors’ penalty area. However, the referee decided to test the moment with help. After the advice, the referee did not change his decision. Palmer approached the mark again and made no mistake – 3:3.
Another minute later, Palmer put Chelsea ahead 4:3. Maybe there wouldn’t have been a goal if it wasn’t for a ricochet from a Manchester United player who changed the trajectory of the ball.
Manchester United in a strong-willed style could have won away 2:3, but lost it in stoppage time 4:3.
- Manchester United remained at its 48 points and continues to go 6th.
- Chelsea scored 43 points and climbed from 12th and 10th place in the Premier League table.
