"With Chelsea shot-stopper Robert Sanchez shown a straight red card after just five minutes following a reckless challenge on Bryan Mbeumo, the Red Devils didn't take long to capitalise on their one-man advantage. Watching skipper Bruno Fernandes open the scoring in the 14th-minute as the Portuguese playmaker recorded a second Premier League strike of the season, United's home support were sent into overdrive as Casemiro tapped home at the back stick and added a second just after the half hour mark."
"Despite bagging United's second of the afternoon, Casemiro was shown his own red card late in first-half stoppage time as the ex-Real Madrid superstar hauled back Andrey Santos to get a second yellow. While Trevoh Chalobah might have nodded home in the final 10 minutes as Saturday's guests set up a grandstand finish under torrential rain, Chelsea failed to claim an immediate response following on from their downbeat Champions League exit earlier in the week."
