Manchester United Beat 10-Man Chelsea After Early Sánchez Red at Old Trafford

Chelsea's decade-long Old Trafford drought deepened after an early dismissal left them depleted.

Overview

  • United won 2-1, with Bruno Fernandes opening the scoring and Casemiro adding a header before Trevoh Chalobah pulled one back late.
  • Chelsea goalkeeper Robert Sánchez was sent off in the fifth minute, prompting Filip Jorgensen’s introduction and the withdrawal of wide attackers.
  • Casemiro received a second yellow card just before half-time, setting up a 10 vs. 10 second half that produced few clear chances.
  • Cole Palmer exited early with a suspected groin issue and was later seen on the bench with an ice pack.
  • The result marked United’s second league win of the season and extended Chelsea’s wait for a league victory at Old Trafford, which dates to 2013.
