Both Manchester United and Chelsea received red cards in Saturday’s Premier League clash, but it was the Red Devils who secured an important 2–1 victory at Old Trafford.
An absolutely frantic first half was bookended by red cards, with Chelsea goalkeeper Robert Sánchez given his marching orders after just five minutes and United midfielder Casemiro sent off in stoppage time. Fortunately for the home team, they had already established a two-goal advantage via efforts from Bruno Fernandes and their dismissed Brazilian.
Trevoh Chalobah offered United food for thought in the closing stages as he converted an excellent Reece James delivery, but Chelsea were unable to find an equaliser as the seconds ticked down in a vital victory for Ruben Amorim and his players.
Here are four takeaways from a thrilling duel.
