Amorim Earns Reprieve as Man United Beat Chelsea 2-1 in Chaotic Old Trafford Win

The win buys Ruben Amorim brief breathing room, with the manager urging "urgency" after a card-strewn contest.

Overview

  • Chelsea goalkeeper Robert Sanchez was sent off in the fifth minute for fouling Bryan Mbeumo, and Bruno Fernandes soon scored to mark his 200th Premier League appearance with his 100th United goal.
  • Casemiro doubled United’s lead before being dismissed for a second yellow prior to halftime, and Trevoh Chalobah’s late header set up a tense finish.
  • Cole Palmer was substituted around the 20-minute mark due to a groin issue, with Enzo Maresca saying he was not 100 percent.
  • The match was noted as the first Premier League game to feature multiple goals, red cards and substitutions within the opening 45 minutes.
  • Amorim said his team "complicate our lives every time" and told them to "forget" the result and find urgency at Brentford next, after reports this week suggested his job was under short-term review.
