(DDM) – Chelsea’s unbeaten run in the Premier League ended painfully at Old Trafford as Manchester United secured a 2-1 victory.
Diaspora Digital Media (DDM) gathered that the defeat, marked by red cards and injuries, sparked furious criticism from Chelsea defender Trevoh Chalobah.
In a brutally honest post-match interview, Chalobah slammed the Blues’ first-half display as “the worst we’ve played all season.”
The damning remark underlined Chelsea’s struggles with consistency, mentality, and discipline despite their ambitions under new manager Enzo Maresca.
Chelsea’s drought at Old Trafford now stretches to 13 games, their longest away winless run against any club in Premier League history.
The game took a dramatic turn just five minutes in when Chelsea goalkeeper Robert Sanchez was shown a straight red card for fouling Bryan Mbeumo.
The dismissal forced Maresca into emergency changes, including the withdrawal of Cole Palmer, who suffered an injury relapse that worsened the evening.
United took full advantage as Bruno Fernandes scored his 100th goal for the club before Casemiro doubled the lead before half-time.
Chelsea’s problems deepened when Casemiro’s second yellow card reduced United to 10 men, but the visitors still failed to seize control.
Chalobah pulled one back in the 80th minute, but the late fightback could not mask what he described as an unacceptable performance.
“United were up for it and they put us under pressure,” Chalobah told Sky Sports.
He warned that Chelsea “must raise our standards” if they are to bounce back from back-to-back disappointments in Europe and at home.
Fans share his concerns, with recent weeks bringing a draw against Brentford, a Champions League defeat to Bayern Munich, and now the Old Trafford collapse.
The match also entered the Premier League record books as the first top-flight game to feature two red cards, two goals, and two substitutions inside 45 minutes.
Analysts say Maresca now faces renewed pressure, with his side three games without a win and a congested fixture list looming.
For Chelsea supporters, Chalobah’s outburst may reflect what many have been feeling, that standards must rise, or the season could unravel further.
