Chelsea Triumphs 2-0 Over Manchester United at Stamford Bridge
Chelsea defeated Manchester United 2-0 at Stamford Bridge on Saturday, with second-half goals from Morgan Rogers and Cole Palmer. Manchester United initially thought they had taken the lead in the 34th minute through Matheus Cunha, but the goal was disallowed for offside after a VAR review.
Despite creating several opportunities in the first half, United could not convert. Chelsea also had a goal from Estêvão ruled out for offside.
The breakthrough came in the 50th minute when Rogers, after receiving a pass from Romeo Lavia, chipped the ball over goalkeeper Senne Lammens. The match turned in Chelsea's favor when referee Peter Bankes awarded a penalty for a foul by Lisandro Martínez on Wesley Fofana, leading to Martínez's second yellow card and dismissal.
Palmer converted the penalty in the 64th minute, securing Chelsea's 2-0 lead, which they maintained until the final whistle. This defeat marked United's seventh loss in 13 matches, increasing pressure on manager Michael Carrick.
United's next match is against Roma in the UEFA Champions League on November 3.
