EPL: Cunha fires Manchester United past Chelsea to boost Champions League push

EPL: Cunha fires Manchester United past Chelsea to boost Champions League push

By Seyi Babalola

Manchester United defeated Chelsea 1-0 at Stamford Bridge on Saturday night, with Matheus Cunha scoring the winning goal following superb work from Bruno Fernandes.

The Brazilian’s strike in the first half was sufficient to secure a vital victory, significantly enhancing United’s prospects of returning to Champions League football next season.

Fernandes’ assist was his 18th in the Premier League this campaign, leaving him just two shy of the competition’s all-time single-season record.

For United supporters, the triumph represented only their second league success at Chelsea’s ground since 2002, sparking jubilant celebrations among the travelling contingent.

Following this latest defeat, Liam Rosenior’s team is now in significant peril of seeing their European aspirations slip away.

Chelsea have now lost four consecutive matches in the Premier League, an unwelcome trend that has occurred only once before this century.

Perhaps most alarming for the Blues is their complete inability to find the net during this barren spell, with their last goal dating back to March 4.
