Chelsea continued to tap on Manchester United’s defence, but the backline looked resilient and frustrated the Blues forwards cut a frustrative figure. There was an instant counter-attack and Marcus Rashford made excellent use of it by finding Paul Pogba inside the box who had to head the ball. There is no doubt that Kepa Arrizabalaga should have done a better job to parry the ball away.
Nevertheless, Paul Pogba looks unstoppable with the form as he continues to produce loads of assists and goals by linking up with the forwards.

Brilliant Pogba. Zoomed past Lukaku to get on the end of the cross. That’s hunger.

Superb goal – started and finished off by Pogba! Chelsea may have dominated possession in this first half but it counts for nothing when you don’t convert your chances and allow a hungry Man United side to twice pounce. Boos ring around SB at half-time by the #CFC fans. #MUFC
