In round 31 of the Premier League on April 5, MU led Chelsea 3-2 until the 90+9 minute, but ultimately lost 3-4.
Diogo Dalot slipped and fell in the presence of Noni Madueke in minute 90+7. Chelsea’s number eleven is the Portuguese defender’s arm. Chelsea was awarded a penalty, as determined by both the VARsystem team and referee Jarred Gillett.
When the clock reached just minute 90+10, Cole Palmer calmly took a spectacular free kιck from 11 meters out to tie the score 3-3 for Chelsea.
The Stamford Bridge stadium erupted in tears in minute 111. Palmer is back, this time with a strain in the forbidden zone. Before Scott McTominay’s teammates could intervene, the ball struck him, reversed course, and into the net.
After suffering injuries in two straight games, MU nearly gave up on finishing in the top five Premier League. With eight rounds remaining in the season, Erik ten Hag and his squad were still behind Tottenham by nine points at this stage.
The match at Stamford Bridge revealed MU and Chelsea’s vulnerabilities. The “Red Devils” midfield’s decision-making and ball-controlling skills are severely lacking. Chelsea, the home team, was irritated by both the defense’s ability to cоunterattack and individual mistakes.
The fourth minute saw a promotion for Andre Onana’s network. Conor Gallagher was accompanied by no MU midfield player, thus the Englishman was able to easily stabilize points within the penalty area, giving Chelsea the lead.
Marc Cucurella launched an аttаck on the city in the 19th minute, acting as though no one had left the field, but he suffered a setback when Antony shoved him down in the forbidden area. Cole Palmer doubled Chelsea’s lead from 11 meters out with ease.
Chelsea paid a cheap price because of errors at the rear of defense, while having other advantages. MU scored two goals in a mere five minutes, from 34 to 39, to reset the score.
Use Moise Caicedo’s next direct formula to reduce the MU ratio. Due to an error by the more than 100 million dollar midfield player, Alejandro Garnacho was able to get away and defeat goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic.
Five minutes later, MU secured a draw by capitalizing on the hosts’ weak ball defense. Bruno Fernandes was duly assisted by Diogo Dalot to score.
Following the draw, Chelsea redoubled their оffensive. The home crowd remained silent in the face of Gallager, Enzo, and Nicolas Jackson’s final moments.
Onana’s skill has enabled MU to endure hardship. When Gallagher’s spin in the 45+4 minute caused the ball to enter the column, the visitors were equally fortunate to defeat the Cameroonian goalie.
Chelsea’s defense erred once more as the forwards toiled away in an attempt to score. Benoit Badiashile crossed the midfield line and awkwardly tackled a player in the 67th minute. With a trivela, or outer cheek wave, Antony quickly got away, setting up a parallel completion for Garnacho.
Chelsea was limited to throwing the ball into their opponent’s restricted area in the remaining time. Raphael Varane and Jonny Evans, two midfielders for MU, were forced off the field, resulting in a crushing loss. Harry Maguire and Willy Kambwala, two young talents, held strong until ιnjury time.
Helping MU get ready to celebrate their win, an incredible thing happened. After eight minutes of overtime, Chelsea ended their five-match losing record to rival Manchester United by scoring two goals in a succession in the 90+10 and 90+11 minutes of play. Only in the last moments of the game, when they are playing too carelessly, does MU know how to play instinctively.
