Chelsea defeated Manchester United 2-0 at Stamford Bridge on Saturday, with second-half goals from Morgan Rogers and Cole Palmer handing the hosts all three points in their Premier League clash.

After an intense first half, Rogers broke the deadlock in the 50th minute, capitalising on a turnover in possession before beating the United goalkeeper at the Stamford Bridge on Saturday.

Chelsea doubled their advantage in the 64th minute when Palmer converted a penalty awarded after Lisandro Martínez fouled Wesley Fofana in the box.

Martínez was sent off after receiving a second yellow card for the incident, leaving United with 10 men as they attempted to fight back.

Manchester United will next face Roma in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday.
