WHAT HAPPENED?
Blues skipper Gallagher hit a sweet first-time shot from 16 yards but stopper Onana let the ball squirm under him and give Chelsea a fourth-minute lead. Then, 15 minutes later it was 2-0 when Antony brought down Marc Cucurella in the box and Cole Palmer dispatched the subsequent spotkick in a dream start to their match at Stamford Bridge on Thursday night.

THE BIGGER PICTURE
United miraculously managed find a way back into the match and almost went on to claim the three points in the Premier League clash. Alejandro Garnacho capitalised on a Moises Caicedo blunder to pull a goal back before Bruno Fernandes fired in the equaliser. Garnacho then thought he had sealed the win with a header in the second half after Antony's awesome pass. However, Chelsea were given a penalty deep into stoppage time and Cole Palmer converted to pull his side level and, amazingly, he went on to fire in a winner straight afterwards.
