United Defeat Chelsea To Blow Title Race Wide Open

Manchester United has blown open the English Premier League title race with a 2-0 win over Chelsea at Old Trafford on Sunday.

Marcus Rashford and Ander Herrera were both on target as Jose Mourinho’s men blew the visitors away to cut the gap at the top of the table to four points.

Chelsea’s lead over closest rivals Tottenham has noe been trimmed with six matches to play after Antonio Conte’s men lost for the second time in their last four games.

Rashford opened the scoring for the home side in the 7th minute after an excellent throughball from Herrera to convert with a cool finish past Asmir Begovic into the far corner.

The visitors protested the goal as Herrera was adjudged to have handled the ball with his hand, after intercepting Nemanja Matic’s pass before the Spain international passed the ball to Rashford.

Herrera then made it two with a deflected strike four minutes into the second half.

The Blues could not find a way back into the game, failing to register a shot on target, as Mourinho celebrated his first victory over his former side in three attempts since his sacking last season

The win moves United, who are now 22 league games unbeaten, up to fifth, four points behind Manchester City with a game in hand.
