Saturday’s win over Manchester United was not only an important win for Chelsea, but it also saw one of Xabi Alonso’s players produce his best-ever performance in a Chelsea shirt.

The Blues are back in the top four after a superb 2-0 win, with Chelsea taking full advantage of Lisandro Martinez’s red card. A goal from Morgan Rogers was followed by Cole Palmer’s penalty, enough to win.

But it could have been very different. Man United edged the first half, having a goal disallowed while individual mistakes from Wesley Fofana might have cost Chelsea had United been in a confident mood.
