Man United vs Chelsea

Man United currently have the worst home clean sheets record in the premier league with 2, De Gea is looking to make amends his mistakes in previous matches.

Within 4 minutes Kepa has to make a save against Lukaku. Only 6 minutes later and Man U have broken the deadlock through the ex-Chelsea man Juan Mata scoring on his birthday. In the 29th minute Eric Bailly has a chance that just steers wide after he beat Alonso. 13 minutes later and Chelsea capitalise on a yet another De Gea mistake through a strike from Marcus Alonso that came of the inside right post and just going in.

For a large period of the game there was next to no action apart from Rudiger’s and Eris Bailly’s injuries. In the 93rd minute there is finally a chance when Sanchez finds Rojo from a corner but Pedro is on hand to stop the ball on the goal-line. 4 minutes later and Higuain is played onside but De Gea is there to make a stop at the 6-yard box. If this had gone in then it surely would have been the winner. The game finished at 1-1.

Through out the game there was little action although Chelsea’s 16 shots and Man United’s 7.
