Manchester United lose ninth straight game after Chelsea defeat
The Premier League loss leaves the team one point above the relegation zone.
Manchester United suffered a 2-0 Premier League defeat against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Saturday. According to the Hindustan Times, the loss marks the ninth consecutive game without a win for the side led by manager Michael Carrick.
Morgan Rogers scored for Chelsea in the 50th minute after driving through the United defence. Cole Palmer then converted a penalty to extend the lead after Lisandro Martinez received two quickfire yellow cards and was sent off following a VAR review.
The visitors missed several opportunities to take the lead during the first half. Captain Bruno Fernandes missed a chance from a Bryan Mbeumo cross, while Amad Diallo was denied twice by Chelsea's stand-in goalkeeper Mike Penders.
A goal by Matheus Cunha from a Harry Maguire header was disallowed for offside. Chelsea also had a goal by Estevao disallowed for offside during the match.
The defeat leaves the 20-time English champions one point above the relegation zone. United are scheduled to play Roma at Old Trafford on Tuesday in a Champions League fixture.
