Manchester United defeated English Premier League champion, Chelsea, 2-1 at the Old Trafford on Sunday.

Nigerian wingback, Victor Moses, was lively and impressive against the Red Devils before he was taken off in the 78th minute for Olivier Giroud.

Chelsea were the better side in the first half, but Manchester United displayed character and resilience despite being far from their best.

Antonio Conte’s men controlled possession and took a deserved lead on the counter-attack as Willian blasted his effort through David de Gea in the 32nd minute.

The home side responded with a fine attacking move to cut open the Blues, with Lukaku providing the finish in the 39th minute.

Jesse Lingard, who came on for Antonio Martial, nodded home Lukaku’s cross from close range to put the home side ahead in the 75th minute.
