The fixtures that will decide Manchester United’s top-four fate after devastating Chelsea defeat
Manchester United’s top-four hopes suffered a major blow as they conceded twice in injury-time to lose 4-3 at Chelsea in an all-time classic Premier League fixture.
A lacklustre United looked dead and buried when Conor Gallagher and Cole Palmer put Chelsea 2-0 up after 19 minutes at Stamford Bridge.
But Erik ten Hag’s side were level at the half-time interval thanks to goals from Alejandro Garnacho and Bruno Fernandes and the Argentine put the visitors ahead midway through the second-half.
For a long time it looked as though United would do enough to seal a crucial win and put pressure on top-four rivals Aston Villa and Tottenham, but Chelsea scored twice in injury-time to stun the Red Devils.
