CHELSEA HAS BLOWN IT!! Put yourself in Antonio Conte’s shoes. You are cruising at the top of the league, many points ahead of all the stragglers, winning an infinite number of games. But, suddenly, BAM: 2 losses in 4 games. The last time Chelsea lost 2 games in 4 was back in September when they lost consecutive games against Liverpool and Arsenal. Manchester United’s frontline wasn’t even that strong. With Ashley Young leading the team and no Ibrahimovic, Mkhitaryan, or Martial, United still managed to stay off the league leaders. The first goal came from Ander Herrera’s superbly loaded pass which Marcus Rashford latched onto before slotting home, scoring in back-to-back PL games for the first time since September 2016. It was Chelsea’s earliest PL goal conceded . since December 2013 when Skrtel scored for Liverpool in 3 minutes and it was the difference between the teams at the break. Chelsea managed just one shot in the first half, their lowest total in a PL first half this season. After half-time, it looked like Chelsea were going to hit back, but Herrera had other things on his mind. In the 49th minute, his shot was deflected into the net after great work from Ashley Young, his first PL goal since February 2016. Herrera scored and assisted in the same PL game for the first time since October 2015. Manchester United were very clinical in this game, score with both of the shots on goal. United managed to keep the game at bay, leaving Chelsea without a single shot in a PL game, the first time since September 2007 (against Manchester United). Mourinho has now recorded at least 1 league win against all 34 PL clubs he has faced as manager as Manchester United move up to 5th place.
