Lavia and Estêvão Changed Everything | Chelsea 2-0 Man United

Chelsea beat Man United 2-0 at Stamford Bridge, but only after a first half where United could easily have scored twice. Romeo Lavia’s tackle set up Morgan Rogers’ opener and turned the game, Estêvão was the best attacker on the pitch, and Mike Penders kept another clean sheet. It’s an important win, but there are still questions for Alonso, not least about Wesley Fofana.
