Here is how Twitter reacted to Chelsea’s 2-0 defeat to Manchester United at Stamford Bridge.
Stamford Bridge as not been happy hunting for Manchester United who have won just twice from their last 22 visits to the London. However, they made sure that history does not play a part in this tie and came away as 2-0 victors by thoroughly dominating the game from minute one to ninety.
When the game was looking balanced, Manchester United broke through the counter-attack to lead the game. Paul Pogba produced a brilliant cross to find Ander Herrera who had to head the ball in from close range in the 31st minute.
Chelsea were piling pressure to level the game, but Paul Pogba and Marcus Rashford combined brilliantly to find the back of the net for the second time to put the game beyond sight for Maurizio Sarri’s men.
There was not much action in the second half as the Red Devils did the defensive job of the game to see out the game against a Chelsea game who never really looked to trouble the scoreboard.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will be delighted with the comeback by producing a scintillating display against the current FA Cup holders whose cup hopes dies in the fifth round. On the other hand, Maurizio Sarri’s ideas are read by out by the opponents week in week out and the Italian must develop a new blueprint to secure results in the upcoming weeks.

11 – Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has now won 11 of his 13 games in charge of Manchester United, one more than Jose Mourinho won with the club in 2018-19 (10/24). Phoenix. #CHEMUN pic.twitter.com/pP5S1rPUSR

Chelsea are losing 2-0 at home to Manchester United and Sarri brings on Zappacosta for Azpilicueta in the 82nd minute when he has Callum Hudson-Odoi on the bench. Absolutely pathetic.

Manchester United fans sing “you’re getting sacked in the morning” in Sarri’s direction – and Chelsea fans join in noisily. Now “Bring Back Mourinho”…very cruel.

2 – Chelsea only attempted two shots on target in this match against Manchester United, with both coming in the 11th minute of the tie. Blunt. #CHEMUN pic.twitter.com/95PtgCX6bU

Chelsea have been patchy and unsatisfying. Like Sarri’s arm
