#2 Manchester United were clinical in front of goal
Manchester United arrived at Stamford Bridge hoping to put their mid-week humbling behind them. The Red Devils did exactly that and turned in an accomplished performance.
The Red Devils weren’t setting the world ablaze with their attacking verve on Monday evening. Yet, when the situation demanded, they portrayed their clinical edge.
For the first goal, Juan Mata found space between Chelsea’s midfielders and released Pogba. The latter expertly evaded the attention of his marker to whip in a delicious cross to the far post where Herrera was on hand to head past a hapless Kepa.
After creating the opening goal, Pogba took matters into his own hands (or head) and delivered the knock-out blow. The Frenchman towered above Cesar Azpilicueta to nod home the second.
In Solskjaer’s time at the helm, the Red Devils have rediscovered the attacking impetus that had inexplicably gone missing under a certain Jose Mourinho.
Thus, on a night when Chelsea’s forwards failed to make any inroads, Manchester United’s attacking players reminded the West Londoners what they’ve been missing: goals.
