Bailly is 10x the defender Lindelof is.

We played quite well second half. Chelsea were awful though. Didn’t look a threat at all.

Ole lapping up the applause on the away end. Must rattle some here.

VAR doing what VAR should!
Massive win this, and Bruno showing glimpses of real quality.

Good win but we were lucky with some refereeing decisions tbh. Their goal from corner probably should've stood. If Son's red is a red, then Maguire should've been sent off too. He scored a PL goal at last but was dreadful defensively. His ass was saved by Bailly & VAR a couple of times.

AWB's & Fernandes' deliveries in both goals were perfect. Finishes too.

Our double pivot, Fred & Matic were very good. Fred once again was absolutely everywhere. Love him.

Like Fred was, for more than a good year until just couple of weeks/months ago, Bailly is one the most harshly and unfairly criticised players on here. He was great and like I said he saved Maguire's ass in this game.

All in all a very important 3 points.

Look clueless when the ball is in our possession.

So many defensive lapses that were unpunished.

Making stupid decisions when it comes to the final 3rd.

Don’t release the ball quick enough in the other 2/3 of the pitch.


Overall, 3 points, but we’re shit.

Brilliant performance, pressing as a unit, solid at the back.
Sometimes too casual on the ball but Bruno has given that midfield some class.

There was a lovely symmetry about this game.

We scored two headers.
Chelsea scored two headers. (Ruled out by VAR)

Bruno hit the post.
Mount hit the post.

Maguire should've been sent off.
Zouma should've been sent off.

Chelsea 0-2 Manchester United. :)

Sometimes it all goes your way. Such a shame Ighalo didn’t score at the end.

Shit game great result. Lucky with Maguire. Thought Ighalo might have been in. Why bring him on with 5 mins to go though could have brought him on around 70 see what he could do for the ineffectual James or slightly better Martial.

Awesome win. Maguire, Fred, Bruno all played very well.

AWB did superbly for the goal, Martial's header was very much unexpected.

Didn’t rate us in the first half but looked much better after the goal.

Very good result, although without wanting to be too much of a downer, I fully expect us to feck it up against Watford.

Hardly a great performance, but a great result, especially given the players we have out. Certainly defended well. Was surprised how toothless Chelsea were, but with Abraham and Pulisic injured I suppose I shouldn't be.

Genuinely quite entertaining in a manic chaotic energy kind of a way... neither team is particularly great at football.

Fernandes good, Bailly crazy, Zouma goal should have stood and Maguire should have been sent off. VAR had a mare.

Decent performance, massive three points, but luck was certainly on our side tonight.

Disagree on Maguire. It wasn't violent conduct he was at worst using the only appendage he could to keep from being trampled after he was fouled.

A cheap win with at least two dubious VAR incidents and quite a bit of good fortune. That said, for Chelsea away I thought it was a solid performance with some good football here and there, and it's a vital win for our chances of salvaging something from the season. Can't help but feel the win is a bit tainted though.

Enjoyed that.

Very relieved for the 3 points.

Fred MOTM.

Two great goals.

VAR MOTM runnerup :D

Good new start

Now It’s important to fight for the City relegation in league two as well

We were not great at all but we fought well and the tactics were decent too.

Got lucky with the Maguire decision and the first VAR rule out which could easily have stood. 2 good goals though.

We have beaten both Chelsea and City twice in a season at their home. Surely no one else has done that especially after City got oil money? Even doing before will need a team to play both in cups at their home ground and then win, so a rare occurrence.

We did the double over Chelsea for the first time in what feels like my life time all without one of our first choice CB's, without our first choice CM's and without our best player

Yeah Ole's shit isn't he :lol:

Say what you want about Solskjaer but his record against Chelsea is bloody excellent. Five games, four wins, one draw, with three wins at Stamford Bridge.

My man of the match, apart from VAR of course, is Bailly, not because he played brilliantly or anything but consider how long he'd been out and how massively important this game was, his performance was admirable.

Massive 3 points. Slim hope for CL qualification continues.

Also - any United fan that complains about VAR again should have their fandom card taken away :D At least until VAR goes against us.

A great result away from home. Fred was fantastic and we kept a clean sheet. Luckily the VAR decisions went in our favour and Chelsea couldn't hit the target apart from that.

Had the rub of the green tonight but a superb result and what a warrior Fred is, thought he was outstanding.
My first correct scoreline this season too I think

Poor first half bar the goal, we were solid in the second half but rode our luck with the help of VAR.
class deliveries from Bruno, we have missed that..
Fred and Matic played well.
Maguire immense, Eric did pretty well, l with the usual mistake chucked in.
Igaloo looks like he may be a handful for defenders.
