Chelsea defeated Manchester United 2-0 at Stamford Bridge on Saturday, October 31, 2026, extending the visitors' winless run to nine consecutive matches across all competitions.
After a goalless first half, Morgan Rogers opened the scoring for Chelsea in the 50th minute. The midfielder found the net to give the home side an important lead.
Manchester United's afternoon became more difficult in the 63rd minute when defender Lisandro Martínez received a second yellow card and was sent off. Chelsea were awarded a penalty, which Cole Palmer converted in the 64th minute to make it 2-0.
The defeat added to Manchester United's difficult run under manager Michael Carrick. The team had already gone eight matches without a win before travelling to Stamford Bridge, and Saturday's result extended that run to nine.
The result also increased pressure on Carrick as Manchester United continue searching for a way back to winning form. Reports before the match had suggested that the Chelsea game was important for his future, although the club has not officially confirmed that his position was under immediate threat.
For Chelsea, the victory provided an important result in the Premier League. Manchester United, meanwhile, will need to find a response in their next matches as they look to end their disappointing run.
