PEEP! PEEP! PEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP! FULL TIME! MANCHESTER UNITED 2 - 1 CHELSEA!
Oh, that was a rather interesting game, wasn't it? Lukaku was superb, Pogba was good erring on the side of very good, Lingard was brilliant! Chelsea, on the other hand, dominated for large parts of the game - hazard was superb, Azpilicueta was on his A game, but Alvaro Morata's toothlessness cost them. Although, the goal he did score was ruled off for a very contentious offside goal - replays confirmed he was on!
Mourinho, politeness personified, walks off with a grim smile.
92' OH! Romelu Lukaku absolutely pulverised the Chelsea defence here as he outfights Rudiger and then outsprints three Chelsea defenders before smashing it at Christensen.
79' Matic bullies Giroud, Drinkwater bullies Matic and Chelsea try to start another flowing move... the ball is moved forward by Alonso and Giroud tries to cushion it out to Morata; but he's offside.
78' A Lindelof mistake almost allows Pedro to attempt a cross, but Smalling does well to makes sure it's just a corner. Giroud comes on for Moses, Conte's throwing the kitchen sink at it.
OH MY! Romelu Lukaku drifted out wide and whipped in an absolute peach of a ball that Lingard run onto and headed supremely well into the back of the net.
67' AMMA! AMMA! AMMA! WHAT WAS THAT! Alexis chipped in a ball that looked pointless till Lukaku contorted his body into a flying bicycle volley that takes the very best of Courtois to keep out.
66' Lingard wins a corner off Azpilicueta... but his corner is rubbish as well. Young then bullies Willian off the ball and tries to race Drinkwater down the left flank - but nothing comes of it.
64' Lingard's first involvement is to hammer into Willian, win the ball back, and lay it off to Sanchez. The Chilean lays it off to Pogba - but the midfielder's pass is rather rubbish.
59' Drinkwater slides around like a kindergarten kid let loose on a waterslide - Martial almost makes away with the ball but Azpilicueta mops things up.
57' Morata does well to hold up the football and win a freekick. Drinkwater takes a pop from well out and inexplicably De Gea spills it - but Alonso is beaten to the rebound by Valencia.
53' Martial and Pogba combine superbly - but Alexis inexplicably dithers again and loses the ball. Pogba's playing well here. Alexis is most definitely not.
49' OH MY! Smalling dives in on a ball that he looked to have under control, Morata takes his time with it - and Smalling recovers to block the Spaniard's shot
48' Pogba bosses Kante off the ball and turns to do that fast ambling gallop of his, but Azpilicueta reads the situation brilliantly, comes out to help his teammate out.
A very good Willian goal was followed by a very good Lukaku goal and those two goals have illuminated a game that's grown into a rather interesting match.
