"Manchester United eased the pressure on coach Ruben Amorim with a tense 2-1 win against Chelsea at Old Trafford on Saturday after both sides were reduced ten players following first-half red cards. Goals from Bruno Fernandes and Casemiro put United 2-0 up before halftime after Chelsea goalkeeper Robert Sánchez was sent off in the fifth minute for a foul on Bryan Mbeumo."
"Whether it was a reaction to the criticism of their performance in last week's 3-0 derby defeat away to Manchester City or just the lid blowing off weeks of frustration, Manchester United's players showed far more bite and aggression than usual on the way to victory against Chelsea. Former United captain Roy Keane hinted at a lack of fight from his old club after the City defeat by bemoaning the lack of yellow cards at the Etihad, but United showed plenty of spirit in this game."
