The chaos spiral continues at Manchester United as Michael Carrick’s side found a new way to let down the manager and fans. The Reds battled through a testy first half at Stamford Bridge in which the side should have scored.
If they had, what came next might not have stung quite as much. The second half display could not have been further from “battling,” and resulted in a second straight Premier League defeat to make it seven points through nine matches.
The defense was solid in the first half of action, though there were still worrying moments in transition. The best moments for Chelsea came from players being caught out of position, with Diogo Dalot notably sloppy on a United corner to give up a disallowed goal.
