Clouds gathered over Ruben Amorim and autumn rain fell, but Manchester United came out dry, while Chelsea sank into the mud and could not even achieve a draw against the aristocrats. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
Enzo Mareska made a name for himself as the first coach in the history of the English Premier League to make three substitutions by the 21st minute. Due to Sanches being sent off early, Jorgensen had to be taken off quickly, but why was it necessary to also remove Estevao and Palmer?
Deprived of creative power, Chelsea struggled a bit due to Manchester United's player being sent off, so the second half was played with equal numbers. The Euro-Football.ru publication subjectively rated three players of the London team who played an important role in Manchester United's victory.
Match protocol: Manchester United 2, Chelsea 1. Goals: Bruno Fernandes 14th minute, Carlos Casemiro 37th minute, Trevo Chalobah 80th minute.
Robert Sanches received a rating of 2.5 points. He made one save, but was sent off due to a last-ditch foul against Mbeumo.
This fifth-minute sending off of Sanches started Mareska's record sequence of substitutions. Trevo Chalobah was rated 4 points.
If he had not won the aerial duel against Sheshko, there would have been no one-on-one against Mbeumo. Chalobah could have been offside on Fernandes' first goal because he did not take his foot off quickly enough.
However, he scored at least not an own goal but against the opponent's goal and gave the most accurate passes in Chelsea's lineup with his long passes. Reece James was rated 3.5 points.
All the team's defenders played weakly, especially James, who several times triggered Manchester United's attacks and distracted the defense before Casemiro's goal. In the second half, he tried to go on the attack but got tired and requested a substitution, but Mareska did not have such an option.
