Manchester United, who played Cristiano Ronaldo as a substitute, drew 1-1 against Chelsea on Sunday (28/11).
Manchester United travels to Chelsea’s headquarters in the Premier League match at Stamford Bridge Stadium, Sunday (28/11).
Since the beginning of the game Man Utd were forced to work hard to block Chelsea’s barrage of attacks.
The Blues showed their strength by displaying a very high attack intensity.
The attack that was built by Thomas Tuchel’s team was not only launched from one side but from the center, right, and left.
However, until the first half ended, both teams were unable to score a goal. Chelsea vs Man Utd first half ended 0-0.
At the beginning of the second half, Man Utd still did not field Ronaldo. However, the Red Devils were able to take a quick lead in the second half through Jadon Sancho’s goal in the 50th minute and change the score to 1-0.
The goal came after Chelsea midfielder Jorginho, who was the last man on the counter-attack, made a mistake.
Jorginho failed to control the ball perfectly so the ball went out of control. The ball was successfully taken by Sancho and ran towards the Chelsea goal. Sancho finally managed to maximize the opportunity to make goals.
In the 57th minute, Chelsea got a golden opportunity through Timo Werner. However, Werner’s shot from inside the penalty box was still off the right side of De Gea’s goal.
In the 63rd minute, Man Utd finally entered Ronaldo to replace Sancho. Unfortunately, only three minutes into the field, Man Utd had to get a penalty after Thiago Silva was violated by Aaron Wan Bissaka in the Red Devils penalty box.
Jorginho who became the penalty taker successfully carried out his duties well and changed the score to 1-1 in the 69th minute. The goal was also a penance for Jorginho’s mistake, which led to a blunder that led to Sancho’s goal.
After scoring, Chelsea appear more impressive. In the 80th minute, Chelsea again had a chance through Hakim Ziyech’s hard shot which was still right in the arms of De Gea.
In the 81st minute, Chelsea added to the banging power by entering their mainstay striker, Romelu Lukaku to replace Werner.
However, Chelsea actually received a threat in the 86th minute after goalkeeper Edouard Mendy made a blunder by wrongly releasing a pass. Mendy’s bait actually went to Fred who was standing big. Unfortunately, Fred was in too much of a hurry to make a shot that was easily saved by Mendy.
Until the match ended there was nothing more that both teams could create. Chelsea vs Manchester United ended 1-1.
