Red Devils bounce back from Newcastle defeat with a hard-fought victory at Old Trafford
Manchester United secured a vital 2-1 win over Chelsea at Old Trafford on Wednesday night, thanks to a brace from unlikely hero Scott McTominay. The win sees Erik ten Hag's side climb to sixth in the Premier League table, while Chelsea continue to flounder in the bottom half.
First Half Highlights:
7' - Penalty awarded to Manchester United: Bruno Fernandes was brought down by Enzo Fernandes in the box. Bruno stepped up to take the penalty, but his trademark stutter was easily read by Robert Sanchez, who saved the spot kick.
8' - McTominay opens the scoring: With United reeling from the missed penalty, it was McTominay who capitalized on a scramble in the box, volleying home the rebound to put the hosts ahead. 12' - Chelsea threaten on the break: The Blues almost equalized immediately, but Mudryk's shot from a narrow angle went off the post.
45' - Palmer scores a stunning equalizer: Just before the half-time whistle, young Chelsea starlet Cole Palmer produced a moment of magic. He received the ball outside the box, took a touch, and curled a beautiful shot into the top corner, leaving David Onana with no chance.
Second Half Action:
The second half saw fewer clear-cut chances, but United continued to look the more dangerous side. 69' - McTominay strikes again: With 20 minutes remaining, McTominay popped up again to score his second goal of the game. He latched onto a loose ball in the box and fired a low shot past Sanchez to restore United's lead.
Chelsea pushed for an equalizer in the final stages, but they were unable to find a way past a resolute United defense
