Chelsea's goalkeeper, Robert Sanchez, made a crucial save in the 15th-round Premier League match against Manchester United, denying a penalty kick taken by Bruno Fernandes.

As reported by Opta, this save by the Spanish goalkeeper concluded a streak of 32 consecutive successfully converted penalties in the Premier League. The last penalty miss occurred in August when Erling Haaland failed to convert an 11-meter kick against Sheffield United.

It's worth noting that Manchester United emerged victorious against Chelsea with a scoreline of 2-1. McTominay put the "Red Devils" ahead in the 19th minute. However, Chelsea managed to equalize before halftime. In the final minutes of the first half, Cole Palmer, assisted by Modric, restored parity on the scoreboard. After the break, Manchester United continued to exert pressure and dominate on the football field, resulting in McTominay securing a brace in the 69th minute.

The hosts maintained this advantage and secured a crucial victory for themselves. Manchester United now has 27 points, climbing to the sixth position, while Chelsea sits in the tenth spot with 19 points.
