Man Utd’s winless run continues as Chelsea bounce back with victoryChelsea increased the pressure on Manchester United boss Michael Carrick with a 2-0 victory over their visitors at Stamford Bridge.Morgan Rogers broke the deadlock five minutes after half-time before Cole Palmer doubled Chelsea’s advantage from the penalty spot after Lisandro Martinez was sent off.United had enjoyed the better of the opening half and Matheus Cunha had a goal ruled out for offside, while Estevao also saw a goal chalked off at the other end.But Chelsea struck quickly after the restart when Romeo Lavia won possession and released Rogers, who drove through the United defence before dinking over Senne Lammens.United’s task was made significantly harder when Martinez was shown a second yellow card after catching Wesley Fofana in the face while defending a corner.The challenge also resulted in a penalty, with Palmer converting from the spot to make it 2-0.Chelsea continued to threaten against the ten men, with Estevao having another effort ruled out for offside as the hosts comfortably protected their advantage and bounced back from last weekend’s defeat to Tottenham.The defeat for United means they are now without a win in their last nine games in all competitions.
