Erik ten Hag and his boys needed just one point to seal their Champions League spot for the next season, as the Dutch manager led his team to all three points to extend the Red Devils’ home win to 14.
Ten Hag paraded the same squad for the third consecutive EPL game, and they comfortably defeated Chelsea, who failed to pick up a second win in seven games with a 4-1 defeat to United.
Casemiro scored his second headed goal against Chelsea after registering his debut goal in the EPL against Chelsea last year. The Brazilian midfielder opened the scoring in the sixth minute, followed by a late first-half strike from Anthony Martial. United then scored two more goals in the second half, from Bruno Fernandes’ spot kick and Marcus Rashford’s goal. However, substitute Joao Felix scored a consolation in the 89th minute.
