Casemiro scores and Manchester United thrash Chelsea in the Premier League

This Thursday, the 25th, Manchester United received Chelsea, at Old Trafford, in a delayed game of the 32nd round of the Premier League. With a great performance, the home team won a wide victory, by 4-1, and guaranteed a place for the next Champions League. The negative highlight was Antony’s injury, who had to leave the field on a stretcher.

The Red Devils were more accurate and took advantage of the chances they had during the first half. Chelsea managed to maintain possession, but suffered passing errors, which provided counterattacks to the opponent. The score was opened in the seventh minute, with a free kick, when Eriksen found Casemiro inside the area, who headed it into the net.

The early goal gave peace to United, who saw Antony receive a hard challenge from Chalobah, still in the 24th minute, and need to leave the field on a stretcher. But despite all the tension, the home team managed to expand, even in the first stage. In stoppage time, Casemiro sent the ball into the area, where Sancho dominated and served Martial, who only pushed for the goal.

After the break, Chelsea returned with another posture and forced De Gea to practice good defenses, something he failed to do throughout the first half. But despite that, in the 27th minute, Fofana brought down Bruno Fernandes in the area and the referee signaled the penalty, which was later converted by the Portuguese. 3 to 0!

At 33 minutes, there was still time for Rashford to score his! Bruno Fernandes stole the ball in the attacking field and served the Englishman, who only had the trouble of pushing into the net. And in the final minutes, João Félix even scored for Chelsea in a good individual move, but there was no time for anything else. Final score: 4-1 and United qualified for the next Champions League!
