Three points off top four, again. I’m not holding out any hope again because United have ruined me too many times this season when in a good position. But they got the result tonight and I’m made up 🤗

Fernandes is only going to get better when Rashford returns. Looking so sharp already and only been two games.

Frank Lampard’s side were hard done by after a series of contentious video assistant referee decisions went against them.
United have struggled in the Premier League this season, and fans will hope that their victory against the Blues would inspire them to provide a strong fight for the Champions League spot.
As a result of the victory, United have jumped to seventh in the Premier League table, and are three points behind fourth-placed Chelsea.
The Red Devils managed only 39% of possession, and attempted nine shots of which they managed to keep three on target.
