The visitors suffered an early blow as Robert Sanchez was sent off inside five minutes and United took advantage with Bruno Fernandes tapping in for 1-0 on 14 minutes before Casemiro doubled the lead on 37 minutes. 

However, Casemiro's evening ended early as he was sent off just before half-time for a second booking. The second half was a quieter affair with Chelsea pulling a goal back in the 80th minute through Trevoh Chalobah for 2-1 which is how it ended.
