<\/a>Half-time! Chelsea 0-1 Manchester United<\/p>\n

Chelsea are booed off half-heartedly by some home fans as makeshift United, with four centre halves absent, take a deserved lead in at the break despite having a smaller share of possession.<\/p>\n

45+2 – Dalot hesitates when dealing with a Gusto cross and concedes a corner that was avoidable. Fortunately for the United defender, the danger from Chelsea\u2019s set piece is minimal.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Fernandes closes in on assist record<\/p>\n

The latest reaction from Chris Wilson, who\u2019s in place at Stamford Bridge this evening:<\/p>\n

\u201cA goal from nothing for United, and it comes against the run of play. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt was all Fernandes really, the Portuguese skipping through a couple of challenges before laying off a lovely cutback for Cunha to fire home. <\/p>\n

\u201cA good finish from the Brazilian and it\u2019s assist number 18 for Bruno Fernandes as he chases the league record. \u201c <\/p>\n

45\u2019 – There will be five added minutes.<\/p>\n

44\u2019 – That\u2019s a lovely move with Fernandes – yet again – at the heart of it. Mbeumo picks out United\u2019s captain down the right. He dribbles and weaves in before sending a low cross to Cunha. And he meets it with perfect timing to beat Sanchez with ease.<\/p>\n

<\/a>GOAL! Chelsea 0-1 Manchester United (Cunha)<\/p>\n

44\u2019 – It\u2019s against the run of play but the away team are in front thanks to a top quality goal.<\/p>\n

41\u2019 – Fofana goes down off the ball and requires treatment. It would seem that has come from being involved in the middle of that Sanchez-Casemiro collision. Replays show he was accidentally struck by his \u2018keeper.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Chelsea 0-0 Manchester United<\/p>\n

The latest reaction from Chris Wilson, who\u2019s in place at Stamford Bridge this evening:<\/p>\n

\u201cHome fans briefly thought they had a deserved lead but it was an easy offside call in the end. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe warning signs have been there for United, but will they take heed of them? Carrick\u2019s side have looked pretty poor overall so far.\u201d<\/p>\n

40\u2019 – And from the ensuring free kick Fernandes dispatches a beauty. Sanchez is strong to punch away despite Casemiro clattering into him. Chelsea\u2019s goalkeeper will have a free kick near his penalty spot.<\/p>\n

39\u2019 – Hato is booked for stopping Mbeumo on the counter.<\/p>\n
