From the source

Manchester United’s winless run extended to nine matches – for the first time since 1988 – following a 2-0 defeat against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

After battling for the first 45 minutes and looking like the better team, Manchester United utterly collapsed in the second half. Morgan Rogers opened the scoring early in the second half, and Lisandro Martinez was sent off after a second yellow card just over 10 minutes later.

That coincided with Cole Palmer scoring from the penalty spot to double Chelsea’s lead. The result puts even more pressure on Michael Carrick after being given ‘more time’ earlier this week.
