Manchester United Edge Chelsea 2-1 After Red Cards Leave Tense Finish

Ruben Amorim urges his side to sustain urgency to turn the result into momentum.

Overview

  • Goals from Bruno Fernandes and Casemiro put United in control before a late Trevoh Chalobah header set up a nervy close in driving rain at Old Trafford.
  • Chelsea goalkeeper Robert Sanchez was sent off early, but Casemiro received a second yellow near halftime to even the numbers.
  • Amorim praised the aggression yet cautioned that his team tends to complicate games and must be more clinical to finish chances.
  • Jamie Redknapp labeled it the biggest win of Amorim’s Old Trafford tenure, and Luke Shaw highlighted the team’s "desperate" defending to see it out.
  • The victory eases scrutiny after a poor start that included just four points from four league matches, with Amorim stressing the need to win the next game.
