On the 5th\u00a0of April 2024, there was a blockbuster clash between Manchester United\u00a0and Chelsea FC. Ten Haag’s side was under immense pressure to produce a result to continue their run in an attempt to reach the Champion’s League in the 24\/25 Season. As well as Mauricio Pochettino’s side\u00a0(as pressure is mounting on him)\u00a0fighting to possibly secure a place in the Conference League and to stay above mid table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The match took place at Stamford Bridge (Home Of Chelsea) as the home fans began to pour in. Kick off was at 8:15 local time, slightly rainy conditions. Within the first 3 and a half minutes, Conor Gallagher had hit the back of the net with an assist from Malo Gusto (Right Back). After a thorough VAR check, Antony from Machester United conceded a penalty for tripping Marc Cucurella. Cole Palmer scored as he sloted it into the bottom left corner as Andre Onana went the wrong way. At this time, possession was 50\/50 and Manchester United knocking on the doorstep had many chances – Garnacho, Rahford and Antony all having their fair share of opportunities. In the 34th\u00a0minute, A. Garnacho managed to break down the resistant Chelsea defence making it 2-1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At 2-1 down and only 6 minutes to go in the first half, Bruno Fernandes stepped up by heading the ball past Petrovic and scoring with a delightful ball from Diogo Dallot. The next minutes in the second half were relatively ‘peaceful’ with possession remaining 50\/50 and tight defence until the 67th\u00a0minute where Garnacho managed to score a header, catching all the Chelsea players off guard. Just like that, it was 3-2. What an ending this match will have!<\/p>\n\n\n

Garnacho is taken off in the 85th\u00a0minute to be applauded for his great performance. Time wasting began. Until Manchester United lost the ball from a throw in, when the opposition drove down the wing with pace and intent on finding an equaliser. PENALTY! Diogo Dalot who was having a great game concedes a penalty for accidentally clipping and tripping Chelsea winger Noni Madueke. Having previosly scored a penalty against Onana earlier in the match, Cole Palmer stepped up again. In the 100th\u00a0minute of the game he found the back of the net. 3-3. Just as the game was coming to an end, in the 101st\u00a0minute immediately after a Manchester United kick off, Chelsea viciously won the ball back, countered and had a shot. Deflected for a corner, it became the last play of the blockbuster game. What was going to happen…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enzo Fernandez took a quick short corner to Palmer again. All the players were tired. The Manchester United markers didn’t bother to run out to close Cole Palmer from taking a shot with his left foot. BANG! Just like that, Chelsea had won the game 4-3.<\/p>\n\n\n

Both teams had the opportunity to get away with 3 points or even 1, however, the mentally stronger and fitter team took the 3 points assisting them with any hopes of making the conference League. This also leviated. much pressure on Pochettino.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What a game: Chelsea 4, Manchester United 3.\u00a0 Chelsea in 10th\u00a0position on the table and Manchester United in 6th.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
