Jose Mourinho-led Manchester United thrashed its counterpart, Antonio Conte’s Chelsea FC on Sunday at the Old Trafford Stadium.

This is the first match since a public war of words that saw the managers sling mud at one another in January.

Jesse Lingard’s second-half goal gave Manchester United a 2-1 win over Chelsea. who had taken the lead through Willian but were quickly pegged back by a Romelu Lukaku equaliser

It was Lukaku’s good work that did much towards winning this for Chelsea, a goal and a fine assist for Lingard doing the job. United were much better in the second half although this was no classic.

Conte may wonder whether replacing Hazard just before the winner was a good idea – his team couldn’t find their way back after Lingard’s strike.
