Manchester United completed their first Premier League win over Chelsea in nine attempts with a commanding display at Old Trafford.
Goals in either half by Marcus Rashford and Ander Herrera rewarded Man Utd’s high-pressing performance and reduced the Blues’ league lead to just four points.
Rashford set the tone by racing on to Herrera’s through-ball to clip coolly past Asmir Begovic on seven minutes and Chelsea might have fallen further behind when Ashley Young twice missed.
Herrera doubled United’s lead on 49 minutes when his shot deflected off Kurt Zouma, and Rashford almost crowning a wonderful performance with another goal on two occasions.
United, in fifth, are four points off fourth place, while second-placed Tottenham Hotspur have renewed title aspirations.
