European Champions Chelsea welcomed Manchester United to Stamford Bridge in a fierce premier league battle, The first half of the game was dominated by the blues and could have gone ahead but Manchester United goalkeeper David De Gea kept them in the game half and it was 0-0 at half-time.
Jadon Sancho puts the Red Devils in front just after half-time as he punished Chelsea’s Italian midfielder Jorginho for a really loose touch in his own half.
Twenty minutes later, a reckless tackle from Manchester United defender Wan-Bissaka on Thiago Silva gave the Blues a golden opportunity to get back on level terms and Jorginho sent an impressive David de Gea the wrong way from the spot.
Despite both teams pushing for a winner as the game grew older , Fred might have clinched the winner when Edouard Mendy played an errant pass, but the Blues keeper atoned his mistake by saving the midfielder’s attempted chip.
