Events

Match Events

  • 0' We are underway at Old Trafford. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
  • 5' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Nicolas Jackson made 422 appearances and scored 50 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 10' Chelsea FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 15' That is a Yellow card for Manchester United FC. Luke Shaw will be fuming at that decision.
  • 19' A stunning finish from Scott McTominay — that came from absolutely nowhere!
  • 22' Alejandro Garnacho catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 22.
  • 27' Manchester United FC have won 692 goals from 422 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 32' Manchester United FC currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 37' A quiet spell here at Old Trafford. Manchester United FC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 42' Alejandro Garnacho has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 13 cards already picked up this season.
  • 45' The deadlock is broken! Cole Palmer gets on the scoresheet on 45 minutes.
  • 46' Fresh legs for Manchester United FC! Reguilon comes on to replace Victor Nilsson-Lindelof.
  • 51' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Chelsea FC winning 100% of all matches.
  • 56' It looks like no one’s ball. Chelsea FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 61' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 66' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 69' Goal! Scott McTominay scores his 45 goal in 422 matches.
  • 74' The 31-year-old Luke Shaw has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 1 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 77' The supporters are chanting for Armando Broja. He replaces Mykhailo Mudryk on 77 minute.
  • 82' Controversy at the stadium! Diogo Dalot argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
  • 84' The supporters are chanting for Marcus Rashford. He replaces Rasmus Hojlund on 84 minute.
  • 89' Moises Caicedo is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Manchester United FC tonight.
  • 90' A tactical swap from Manchester United FC — Jonny Evans on, Alejandro Garnacho off on 90 minutes.
  • 90' A moment of madness from Reguilon on 90 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Manchester United FC will be frustrated.
  • Another three points for Manchester United FC.
