Cunha the difference as Man Utd condemn Chelsea to four straight defeats

Chelsea suffered a fourth consecutive home Premier League defeat for the first time since 1998, falling 1‑0 to Manchester United as the visitors strengthened their hold on a top‑three position. Both sides entered the match after league losses, but Chelsea’s urgency was greater given their poor home form, with just one win in their previous seven at Stamford Bridge.

They created the better chances in a cautious first half, with Estêvão striking the post before being forced off injured and Enzo Fernández shooting narrowly wide. United, however, made their only effort on target count as Matheus Cunha finished from Bruno Fernandes’ cutback. Chelsea pushed after the break, twice hitting the bar through Delap and an inadvertent Mazraoui touch, while Cole Palmer and Moisés Caicedo also went close. The equaliser never arrived, increasing pressure on Liam Rosenior. United’s victory opens a ten‑point gap over Chelsea and completes only their second league double over the Blues.
