In the 34th minute, Moises Caicedo made an unfortunate pass to Benoit Badiashile, Alejandro Garnacho ran one-on-one with the goalkeeper and scored. Just 5 minutes later, Bruno Fernandes equalized with a header from Diogo Dalot's cross.

Manchester United took control of the game from the start of the second half, and in the 67th minute, Anthony marked his first goal contribution of the Premier League season. The Brazilian provided a superb pass to Garnacho with the outside of his foot, and Garnacho touched the ball into the net.

Everything seemed to be leading to a Manchester United victory, but in the very last minutes of stoppage time, Diogo Dalot brought down Noni Madueke in the penalty area, and Palmer converted the second penalty. But Chelsea didn't stop there! Just a minute later, they earned a corner, played it, Palmer took a shot, and the ball deflected into the net!

It was an incredible twist in the match! Chelsea managed to defeat Manchester United in an English Premier League match for the first time since 2017!

Following this victory, Mauricio Pochettino's team climbed to tenth place. Manchester United remains sixth and has practically lost its chances of finishing in the top four.
