Manchester United secured the third win in their last four games in all competitions after beating Chelsea in the Premier League on Monday night.
The Red Devils also returned to winning ways in the Premier League following their 2-0 win against the Blues at Stamford Bridge. United are now within three points of Chelsea who are in fourth place, but Frank Lampard’s side were hard done by after a series of contentious video assistant referee decisions went against them.
Goals from Anthony Martial and Harry Maguire at either side of the interval proved to be the difference between the two sides. Martial scored from Aaron Wan-Bissaka’s cross while skipper Maguire powered in a header from Bruno Fernandes’ corner after 66 minutes.
Fernandes took to social networking site Twitter after the game to express his reaction. The Portuguese midfielder, who joined the Red Devils during the January transfer window from Sporting, has registered his first assist for the club.
Amazing 3 points against a really tough opponent
