Chelsea Beat 10-Man Manchester United as Martinez Sees Red

Manchester United’s troubles deepened with a 2-0 defeat to Chelsea, a result compounded by missed opportunities and Lisandro Martinez’s dismissal.

United failed to take their chances before Chelsea moved ahead, leaving them unable to recover once the match turned against them. Martinez was sent off during the contest, reducing the visitors’ prospects of a comeback as Chelsea secured a two-goal win.

The loss leaves Manchester United facing a serious fight to stay clear of the relegation places. Their position is unlikely to be transformed simply by a change in the dugout, with the squad needing results quickly after another damaging afternoon.
