Frank Lampard men suffered another embarrasing defeat against Manchester United as the Red Devils secured a 2-0 win over the Blues at Stamford Bridge on Monday night.
The win takes United up past Everton and Wolves into seventh, three points behind Chelsea in fourth. They’re two behind Tottenham in fifth, which now looks like being the last Champions League place after Manchester City‘s ban from UEFA.
Both teams put the ball in the net twice, but Chelsea see both of theirs ruled out by VAR so it’s three points for United.
Martial flicked in a header against the run of play just before the half-time whistle, with Zouma seeing an equaliser from a corner chalked off for an Azpilicueta push.
Maguire powered home a header from a corner which did stand, before Giroud turned home a good finish which didn’t due to a close offside call.
Batshuayi missed some big chances, Kante limped off injured, Willian was booked for diving in the area and Maguire escaped a VAR red card check in a hugely frustrating night for the Blues.
