Manchester
United completed their first Premier League win over Chelsea in nine attempts with
a commanding display at Old Trafford.
Goals in
either half by Marcus Rashford and Ander Herrera rewarded Man Utd’s
high-pressing performance and reduced the Blues’ league lead to just four
points.
Rashford set
the tone by racing on to Herrera’s through-ball to clip coolly past Asmir Begovic
on seven minutes and Chelsea might have fallen further behind when Ashley Young
twice missed from range.
Herrera
doubled United’s lead on 49 minutes when his shot deflected off Kurt Zouma, and
Rashford came close to crowning a wonderful performance with another goal on
two occasions.
United, in
fifth, are four points behind fourth-placed Man City, with a match in hand, while
second-placed Tottenham Hotspur have renewed title aspirations.
