As Manchester United boss, José Mourinho has made two trips to Stamford Bridge and lost both. Today, he looked to reverse that trend against a Chelsea team in poor form. The Blues were defeated 3-0 in Rome during the week and saw this game as a shot at redemption.
The two heavyweights of English football engaged in a tactical duel with major implications for the Premier League title. Chelsea scored the only goal of the game in the 55th minute as Álvaro Morata’s jaw-dropping header looped past a stranded David De Gea. The Blues now move into 4th place, only 1 point behind Manchester United.
Here’s the combined XI from Chelsea’s 1-0 win over Manchester United.
