Manchester United lose 2-0 to Chelsea as defensive errors cost them points
Manchester United were beaten 2-0 by Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, with two second-half goals coming after a turnover and a penalty following a foul by Lisandro Martínez, who was later sent off.
Manchester United fell 2-0 to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, extending their Premier League losing streak to two matches and leaving them seven points from the league leaders after nine games. United dominated the first half but failed to convert several chances, including shots by Amad, Matheus Cunha and a missed opportunity by Bruno Fernandes after a pass from Bryan Mbeumo.
Chelsea took the lead shortly after the interval when Morgan Rogers capitalised on a turnover in United's midfield, slipping past a back-pedalling Harry Maguire and scoring past goalkeeper Senne Lammens. A second goal followed when Lisandro Martínez, already on a yellow card, committed a foul on a Chelsea corner and was shown a second yellow, resulting in a penalty that Cole Palmer converted.
United will travel to Old Trafford later this week for a Europa League tie against Roma as they seek to halt their recent slump.
