Manchester, September 20 (Saturday Night) \u2013 Manchester United sealed a hard-fought 2\u20131 victory over Chelsea in a dramatic Premier League encounter at Old Trafford. Goals from captain Bruno Fernandes and midfielder Casemiro powered United to an important win, while Chelsea\u2019s Trevoh Chalobah struck late but couldn\u2019t rescue his side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The contest was filled with twists as both teams finished with 10 men on the pitch. Chelsea suffered a huge early blow in just the 5th minute when goalkeeper Robert S\u00e1nchez was shown a straight red card, leaving the visitors with a numerical disadvantage from the very start. United capitalized immediately, with Fernandes breaking the deadlock in the 14th minute to give the hosts the lead. Casemiro doubled the advantage in the 37th minute, putting United firmly in control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the game took another dramatic turn in first-half stoppage time when Casemiro himself was dismissed after receiving a second yellow card. United were reduced to 10 men, setting up a tense second half with both teams level in numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chelsea fought hard after the interval and finally found a breakthrough in the 80th minute through Chalobah\u2019s well-placed strike. But United\u2019s defense held strong in the closing stages, securing their second win of the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the result, Manchester United climbed to 10th place on the table with 7 points from 5 matches. Chelsea, who suffered their first defeat of the campaign, sit in 6th place with 8 points from 5 games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elsewhere on Saturday, defending champions Liverpool maintained their perfect start to the season with a 2\u20131 victory over Everton. Fulham defeated Brentford 3\u20131, while Leeds United also recorded a 3\u20131 win against Wolves. Crystal Palace overcame West Ham United 2\u20131, Brighton and Tottenham shared the spoils in a 2\u20132 draw, and Burnley were held 1\u20131 by Nottingham Forest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The weekend results have further intensified the early race in the Premier League, with several clubs jostling for momentum in the new campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
