Chelsea’s Cup hopes dashed

-

MANCHESTER United have claimed a 2-0 win over Chelsea to dump the FA Cup holders Chelsea out of the competitio­n and pile more pressure on Blues manager Maurizio Sarri.

Spaniard Ander Herrera finished off a fine move with a precise header from Paul Pogba’s cross just past the half hour and United’s French midfielder scored himself when he nodded powerfully home from a Marcus Rashford delivery before the break at Stamford Bridge.

It was a measure of revenge for United, resurgent under interim manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
