"Chelsea have collapsed at Old Trafford after an early red card put Manchester United on the front foot at Old Trafford. The Blues saw their goalkeeper dismissed early in the first half after he wiped out Bryan Mbeumo who was rushing through on goal. As a result, Estevao Willian was hooked to rebalance the team and introduce replacement Filip Jorgensen, but it did little to steady the ship."
"United then stormed into the lead courtesy of captain Bruno Fernandes, who latched on to a loose ball in the box in the torrential rain. More misery then struck the visitors, with Cole Palmer having to leave the field with an apparent injury - the midfielder could be seen with an ice pack on his groin when he returned to the bench."
"Rather than respond with a burst themselves, United remained on the front foot and scored a second. This time, it was veteran Casemiro who headed home after a tussle in the box between the two teams. It is fair to say that the match has already fallen away from Chelsea, who have shown no signs of any fightback in what is set to be a miserable night in Manchester."
