Anthony Martial headed the Red Devils in front just before half-time from an Aaron Wan-Bissaka cross, while Harry Maguire sealed all three points in the second half.

Monday Recap

Chelsea suffered an early blow at Stamford Bridge when midfielder N'Golo Kante was forced off through injury after just 13 minutes:

Manchester United also survived an early red card appeal when Maguire appeared to kick out at Chelsea striker Michy Batshuayi when the pair tangled near the touchline:

A first half low on quality in the attacking third finally sprang into life after 44 minutes. Wan-Bissaka beat Willian down the right and sent in an inviting cross for Martial to rise above Andreas Christensen and head past Willy Caballero.

Chelsea thought they had equalised in the second half when Kurt Zouma volleyed home a corner, but the goal was disallowed for a push by Cesar Azpilicueta on Brandon Williams after a VAR check (UK video only):

Manchester United went on to double their lead from Maguire on 66 minutes. The captain connected well with Bruno Fernandes' corner to power a header past Caballero.

Chelsea saw another goal ruled out 10 minutes later. Olivier Giroud was adjudged to have been offside when he headed Mason Mount's cross past David De Gea.

Fernandes went close to his first Manchester United goal with a low shot that crashed against the post, while Mount was also denied by the woodwork at the other end from a free-kick.

The result sees the visitors move above Wolverhampton Wanderers and Everton in the table and gives the Red Devils a first league double over Chelsea since 1987-88.
