From the source
Manchester United have spent too much time this season making life difficult for themselves, and at Stamford Bridge they did it again. The key moment was simple, ugly and avoidable.
Lisandro Martinez, already on a booking, swung an arm at Wesley Fofana inside the box, VAR intervened, the second yellow came, and Cole Palmer converted the penalty that effectively ended the contest.
That is the part nobody at Old Trafford can dress up. It was reckless, it was unnecessary and it damaged a side already operating with paper-thin margins.
