In fact, Chelsea started excitedly, controlling the ball 76% in the first 15 minutes despite playing away from home.
But Chelsea also soon revealed problems in defense.
The match was played at a fast pace in both halves but without quality.
Lampard failed in his first match leading Chelsea in the Premier League.
Chelsea had a chance to equalize at the end of the first half, but Ross Barkley or Pedro’s shots were not difficult enough to beat David De Gea.
Kicking better but unable to score in the first half, Chelsea continued to miss opportunities at the beginning of the second half.
In a counterattack, it seemed like the opportunity had passed for Man Utd after the ball was sent to the right wing.
Chelsea played better most of the time but were continuously punished by Man Utd’s counterattacks.
Chelsea conceded another goal just two minutes later.
Not only that, Chelsea also conceded one more goal.
With this big win, Man Utd ranked second behind Man City – the team with a goal difference of +5.
