"You want to perform, but at the end of the day, what matters is points, he told BBC Sport. We haven't been getting the points we wanted. At the end of the game, we were very strong in defending our box and putting them in positions of crossing. We got the [Chelsea's] red card because our mentality was starting the game so strong. The players have to run behind whenever Ben goes for the ball and that's what Bryan did."
"The turning point of the match was the early red card received by Blues goalkeeper Robert Sanchez. In the 5th minute of the match, Sanchez was sent off for bringing down Bryan Mbeumo who was sent clear on goal by a crucial header won by striker Benjamin Sesko. Man United attackers looked promising vs Chelsea Both the attacking players combined to create an opportunity for the Red Devils which eventually became the reason behind their win in the end."
Manchester United beat Chelsea at Old Trafford with goals from Bruno Fernandes and Casemiro, while Trevoh Chalobah scored for Chelsea. The decisive moment came in the fifth minute when goalkeeper Robert Sanchez was sent off for bringing down Bryan Mbeumo after a header from Benjamin Sesko. The early red card altered the match, and United defended strongly in the second half to preserve the lead. Fernandes singled out Sesko and Mbeumo for their mentality and work rate in creating the key opportunity. The win moved United to 10th and marked their first back-to-back league victories under Amorim, though consistency remains a concern.
