“Manchester United dominates Chelsea with a 4-1 victory in Premier League showdown”

It’s been a while since Manchester United and Chelsea have been swimming in the same waters. A little over a decade ago, these two British football behemoths still found themselves at the top of Europe to explain themselves in the Champions League final. But they have since fallen into line. And if the club from the north-west of England has often been mocked in recent years, it is the London team that has won the palm of ridicule this season.

Fourth in the Premier League, Manchester United had the opportunity to overtake Newcastle to climb on the third step of the podium if successful on Thursday evening. A mission that seemed well within reach of Erik ten Hag’s men. Because opposite, the Blues presented themselves at Old Trafford with a capital well tainted confidence: Chelsea had signed only a small victory in their last 12 games in all competitions.

In this context, it is Manchester United who has imposed its law in its arena. Ten Hag’s squad tried to use their usual ingredients to avoid the trap set by these unpredictable Blues: intense counter-pressing, high running volume with and without the ball, and a willingness to shoot vertically using the speed of his offensive arrows.

Manchester United recited their ranges

This tactical approach paid off as Manchester United largely took over their opponents by scoring 4 goals. It only took a few minutes for the residents of Old Trafford to unblock the situation with a victorious helmet shot from Casemiro (1-0, 6th). From then on, there was no more match. The Brazilian, scorer, was then at the origin of a superb collective movement concluded by Martial for the goal of the break (2-0, 45th). A scenario that did not encourage Man U to release the pressure.

In the second half, Bruno Fernandes was brilliant by obtaining a penalty which he converted for the third Mancunian goal (3-0, 73rd) before serving Rashford, who salted the bill (4-0, 78th). Joao Felix’s late score reduction was a meager consolation prize for Chelsea. Mission accomplished for United, who will compete well in the Champions League next season.
