Manchester United Secures 2-1 Win Over Chelsea in Premier League Clash

Manchester United revived their Premier League campaign with a 2-1 victory over Chelsea at Old Trafford. Chelsea goalkeeper Robert Sanchez was sent off in the fifth minute for a foul on Bryan Mbeumo. Bruno Fernandes scored his 100th goal for United, and Casemiro added a header before being sent off. Trevoh Chalobah’s late goal was not enough as United held on for three crucial points.

In the Premier League 2025-26, Manchester United secured a dramatic 2-1 home victory over Chelsea, ending their early-season struggles. The game turned chaotic within minutes when Chelsea goalkeeper Robert Sanchez received a red card in the fifth minute for a reckless challenge on Bryan Mbeumo. United capitalized on the numerical advantage as Bruno Fernandes scored his 100th goal for the club, followed by Casemiro’s first goal of the season, putting the hosts 2-0 ahead inside 37 minutes.

Chelsea, forced into early substitutions due to Cole Palmer’s injury and Sanchez’s sending off, struggled to create meaningful chances. Casemiro, however, saw his heroics turn sour as he received a second yellow card just before halftime, becoming the first Premier League player since Emmanuel Adebayor in 2012 to score and be sent off in the first half. Despite being a man down, Chelsea managed a late goal through Trevoh Chalobah’s header, but it was not enough to challenge United’s lead.

The win provided relief for United coach Ruben Amorim, who had only eight wins in 31 league games since his appointment last November. The victory also extended Chelsea’s winless streak at Old Trafford since 2013, highlighting United’s resilience in a rain-soaked, high-pressure encounter.
