Man U Beat Chelsea 2-0

Manchester United has ended their 12-match winless run against Chelsea by picking up a 2-0 victory over their rivals at Old Trafford in Sunday’s Premier League clash.
Marcus Rashford got the ball rolling for United early on and Ander Herrera added a second shortly after the second-half restart, as the hosts extended their unbeaten league run to 22 games.
United are now four points adrift of fourth-placed Manchester City in the table with a game in hand to play, while Chelsea’s advantage on closest challengers Tottenham Hotspur at the top remains at a slender four points.
The Red Devils were ahead through their fastest league goal of the Mourinho era, thanks to a simple through-ball from Ander Herrera – who handled the ball in the build-up – for Marcus Rashford to peel off David Luiz and tuck home.
Rashford was thriving in what was a rare start through the middle, while alongside him Jesse Lingard and captain-for-the-day Ashley Young also got into some promising positions.
Young sent one shot-cross from the left agonisingly close to the far corner, while also skying a shot from the edge of the area with the final attempt of a first half dominated by his side.
A first Premier League goal in 14 months for Herrera made Chelsea’s task all the more difficult just four minutes into the second period, firing a loose ball past a wrong-footed Begovic with the aid of a big deflection off Zouma.
Lingard was riding off the wave of joyous home fans when curling one over moments later, and half of Old Trafford though that Rashford had added a third when thumping a powerful drive into the side-netting from range.
The introduction of Cesc Fabregas from the bench, taking over from Victor Moses in a further piece of tinkering, saw Chelsea wrestle back more control of the game.
Pedro volleyed wide at the back post and sent a curler over the returning David de Gea’s target, but that first on-target attempt continued to elude the below-par visitors.
A fine Rashford display was almost capped with a second goal when somehow keeping hold of the ball under pressure from Luiz and Zouma, before guiding a low shot on target for Begovic to keep out.
