Blues slip to defeat in opening fixture at Old Trafford (4-0)

Chelsea fell to defeat on the opening weekend of the Premier League as Manchester United scored in both halves to take the points at Old Trafford.

Frank Lampard’s side made an encouraging start and twice hit the woodwork in the first period through Tammy Abraham and Emerson, while David de Gea also made one important save to deny Ross Barkley before the break.

Manchester United took the lead against the run of play after 18 minutes when Kurt Zouma upended Rashford in the box and the England international brushed himself down to convert the subsequent spot-kick.

While an entertaining first half ended 1-0 to the hosts, United were more clinical with their finishing after the restart and a quick double effectively ended the contest as Anthony Martial and Rashford beat Kepa Arrizabalaga from close range. A fourth was added before the end when substitute Daniel James found the far corner at the end of a pacey counter-attack.

It left the Blues heading back to London with a heavy scoreline against them and one that felt harsh given the balance of play, though time to reflect will be minimal before the squad fly to Turkey tomorrow for the UEFA Super Cup final in Istanbul.
