Manchester United lose to Chelsea, Carrick again faces threat of dismissal
Chelsea defeated Manchester United 2-0 in a Premier League match, and defender Lisandro Martínez received a red card. The loss extended the team's winless streak to nine matches and increased pressure on head coach Michael Carrick.
Chelsea secured a victory over Manchester United on Saturday at Stamford Bridge. The hosts opened the scoring in the 50th minute: Morgan Rogers broke through the center of the visitors' defense and chipped goalkeeper Senne Lammens.
Martínez soon received two yellow cards. After the second, shown following a VAR review for a foul in the penalty area, Chelsea earned a penalty, which Cole Palmer converted.
Carrick's team missed several chances in the first half, and Matheus Cunha's goal was disallowed due to offside. Following the defeat, Manchester United remained one point above the relegation zone and could end the weekend in the bottom three. The club's next match will be at home against Roma on Tuesday in the Champions League.
