"Bruno Fernandes scored a landmark goal on his 200th Premier League appearance to help Manchester United to a 2-1 victory over Chelsea, with both teams having a player sent off. It could hardly have started worse for Chelsea, who were down to 10 men inside five minutes when Robert Sanchez, who had already parried away a Bryan Mbeumo header, caught the Cameroon international with a rash challenge just outside the Blues' box."
"Casemiro doubled United's advantage with a close-range header in the 37th minute, but two bookings either side of his goal saw him sent off on the stroke of half-time. Chelsea - who saw Cole Palmer trudge off due to an apparent injury in the first half - improved after the break, and thought they had pulled a goal back just after the hour when Wesley Fofana headed in from close range, but he was denied by the offside flag."
