Chelsea player ratings vs Man Utd as Rogers and Caicedo bail out 4/10s in win
Chelsea took on an embattled Manchester United side at Stamford Bridge on Saturday with both teams contending with the absence of their main men up front. Joao Pedro was missing for the Blues for a second straight league game, while United frontman Benjamin Sesko isn't expected back until the new year. Both teams began with false nine setups, with Morgan Rogers and Bryan Mbeumo occupying that role for the home and away team respectively, and it was the Blues star who broke the deadlock.
TL;DR
- Morgan Rogers scored the first goal for Chelsea against Manchester United.
- Cole Palmer converted a penalty to extend Chelsea's lead.
- Lisandro Martinez of Manchester United received a second yellow card and was sent off.
- Both teams played with false nine formations due to absent strikers.
- Player ratings were provided for the Chelsea squad, with Moises Caicedo receiving a 7 and several players rated 4.
