Manchester United delivered a crucial performance, beating Chelsea 2-0 at Old Trafford to breathe life into what had been a faltering start to the Premier League season.
The home side, winless in their previous three matches, showed renewed energy and discipline under pressure. Goalkeeper André Onana made several key saves to preserve the shut-out advantage.
Manchester United’s captain handed in an assertive midfield performance, dominating possession and helping stem Chelsea’s attacking threats. The winning goals came before half time, leaving Chelsea with an uphill battle they could not surmount.
The victory temporarily lifts United off the bottom half of the table and puts them back into contention for the top four. It also gives manager Erik ten Hag a needed morale boost ahead of next week’s fixtures.
