Man Utd claim 2-1 win over Chelsea after early Sanchez red card

Chelsea goalkeeper Robert Sanchez was sent off in the fifth minute of the Premier League match at Old Trafford after fouling Bryan Mbeumo, denying a clear goal-scoring opportunity. This early red card forced Chelsea coach Enzo Maresca to make multiple substitutions, including replacing attacking players, which disrupted the team's structure and momentum. Manchester United capitalized on the numerical advantage, with Bruno Fernandes scoring shortly after and Casemiro adding a second goal before halftime. Chelsea's struggles were compounded by an injury to Cole Palmer, further weakening their lineup. Despite a late consolation goal from Trevor Chalobah, Chelsea could not recover, extending their winless streak at Old Trafford since 2013. The match highlighted Sanchez's costly error and left Chelsea facing a difficult challenge for the remainder of the game and season.
