Source context

Manchester United head coach Michael Carrick has acknowledged that he and his players must start winning games, with the club just above the relegation zone. United made it nine games without a win as they suffered a 2-0 loss to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea’s goals were claimed in the second half by Morgan Rogers and Cole Palmer. For Rogers’ strike, the Englishman was remarkably allowed to cut through the midfield and defence before poking home. Palmer buried the penalty, awarded after Lisandro Martinez’s elbow on Wesley Fofana during a set-piece.
