(Baonghean.vn) - A moment of brilliance from Morata in the second half decided the outcome of the big match at Stamford Bridge between Chelsea and Manchester United.

The big match at Stamford Bridge between the “Red Devils” and “The Blues” took place very openly. Man United and Chelsea did not hesitate to push their squads high with the ambition to “preemptively attack” the opponent.
The attacking stars of both sides missed many good chances in front of each other's goal. In the first 45 minutes, the finishing shots of Morata, Harzad, Rashford, Lukaku were either unlucky or could not defeat the two excellent goalkeepers David De Gea and Thibaut Courtois.
In the most tense and tense moment, Alvaro Morata brought joy to Chelsea. In the 55th minute, receiving a cross from Azpilicueta, the Spanish striker comfortably jumped high and headed the ball into the net of goalkeeper De Gea.

In the remaining time, coach Jose Mourinho sent Fellaini, Martial, Lingard onto the field to increase the attacking pressure. However, Man United's efforts could only stop at the opportunity level. At the same time, Chelsea's defense remained firm until the referee blew the final whistle.
With a valuable 1-0 victory, Chelsea is only one draw behind Man United (22 points). On the Premier League rankings after round 11, Man United is 8 points behind Man City.
Responding to Sky Sports, coach Mourinho said: "I want the fans to explain why they don't support Lukaku because he has brought everything. I think it's unfair for him to question whether he scores or not. I'm a bit disappointed about that, but Lukaku still makes me happy."
Of course we were missing some important players. The first team to score will win because both sides have good defences. They scored first and they had a better mentality. After the goal, the Man United players were a bit nervous but we managed to create a balanced game. A draw would have been a fair result."
SCORING Chelsea: Courtois (7), Azpilicueta (8), Christensen (6), Cahill (7), Zappacosta (6), Bakayoko (6), Fabregas (8), Alonso (6), Kante (7), Morata (8), Hazard (7) |
