Manchester United clashed heads with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge earlier tonight as they hoped to earn a good result on their travels in the Premier League. The Red Devils made a poor start to the game and conceded the opening goal in the fourth minute when Conor Gallagher scored for the home side. Cole Palmer doubled his team’s lead from the penalty spot in the 19th minute. However, Alejandro Garnacho got a goal back for the Mancunian side in the 34th minute before Bruno Fernandes equalised just five minutes later. Both teams went into the half-time interval with a 2-2 scoreline.
Garnacho scored again for the visitors in the 67th minute. However, Cole Palmer equalised via the penalty spot before netting the winning goal with a deflected strike in injury time as Man United crashed to a disappointing 4-3 loss on the road.
