Manchester United team
Manchester United secured their place in next season’s Champions League with an impressive 4-1 victory over Chelsea. The Red Devils needed just a point to guarantee a top-four finish, and they got off to a flying start when Casemiro headed in the opener after only six minutes. Anthony Martial doubled the lead just before halftime, tapping in Jadon Sancho’s pass. In the second half, Bruno Fernandes converted a penalty and Marcus Rashford scored his 30th goal of the season to make it 4-0. Joao Felix scored a consolation goal for Chelsea.
United’s attacking display showcased their dominance, as they ended the game with 5.14 expected goals, the highest figure for any team in a single Premier League match this season. They could have scored even more goals, but their performance demonstrated progress under manager Erik ten Hag.
The only negative for United was the injury to Antony in the first half. Losing him could be a disappointment ahead of the FA Cup final. Meanwhile, Chelsea continued to struggle, with this season being their worst in the Premier League era. They are 12th in the table and have been unable to find consistency under Frank Lampard.
Overall, it was a convincing victory for Manchester United, securing their place among Europe’s elite for the next campaign and highlighting the challenges ahead for Chelsea.
