The Valencia tackle was ok but Costas was a yellow card? Exact same tackle except Costa only used 1 foot, what happened to this side rule that Keown made up

BenK

The sending off ruined this game.

I don't think that was a deciding factor
We always wanted Pogba but similar players they are not

Scummy from costa, finally carded

Not similar, but he looked to be the next best midfielder available after Pogba and I 100% believe ye would have gone for him (and got him, bigger club than Chelsea).

Turns out Kante is miles ahead of him, but Pogba has to improve, he was too good at Juventus to play this badly. I hope he doesn't of course and his next transfer is for £5m to a second-rate French team, but that's no surprise to you I'm sure.

Four more minutes, I'm on the edge of my cliff.

Chelsea should have buried this well before now.

Ffs cross the ball

Rossi IRL

Rojo only player who has really turned up tonight for us.

Few other defenders have aswell but Rojo stands out for me

Mars Bar

I'd like to see Valencia's sprint in his recovery run clocked there. Amazing sprint for the 90th minute of the game.

mada999

I really wish De Gea would leave utd, he's keeping them in games

Well deserved win for Chelsea. Been the much better team

Agent Coulson

Taking Mkhitaryan off for Fellaini really say it all about this utd team under Jose.


Craft and guile for elbows and hair.

Jones gets warned, Herrera sent off.. Makes total sense...

Did Rojo stamp or attempt to stamp on Hazard there?

sReq | uTeK

Smalling is DREADFUL.

Rojo is top class

Hahaha in stitches. You back to Chelsea this week??

City could only scrape a draw in their last game so i'd imagine so.

Hazard will be sore in the morning.

GavRedKing

We've missed some serious chances tonight.

It should have been 3 or 4 if it wasnt for some good GKing in the first half and shocking misses in the 2nd.

And the only man to blame for that is Ander Herrera.

Awful ****e, blow it up ref !!!

The Talking Bread

Do people actually think that if Chelsea had the choice in August between Pogba and Kante, they would have taken the latter anyway??

No they wouldn't.

That Pogba deal was done and dusted informally before the Euros, never mind after it. Chelsea knew that so sought the alternative options. Kante being the outstanding choice.

Chelsea would have paid 90 million for Pogba too if he wanted to go there. And Conte would have gladly took him.


So this nonsense of "Chelsea were so much smarter not to pay all that money and instead buy the cheaper and "better" option" is a load of balloney.

Looked like it. Wonder did Wayne Rooney see it?

But Barcelona lost .

Credit to 11 man Chelsea running the clock down in the corner.

Testament to 10 man united

Don't know how ya can say they've been wasting time, spent the last 50 mins in and around United's box

eigrod

Kick Hazard was the only tactic Mourinho had tonight

Mars Bar

Best team won on the night for sure

I didn't suggest otherwise. It still ruined the game as a spectacle though.

That long ball stuff is awful

What's the hahaha about? I didn't say he did, I asked if he did. Since a replay wasn't shown I assume he didn't.

Johner

Get in, thank **** for that.

ricero

Shocking from utd they just sat back and accepted the loss

NoviGlitzko

What an awful boring match.

Agent Coulson

Didn't want to win it anyway.



How bloody small is Kante.

Korat

Chelsea were always going to win that. Better team won.

martyos121

Well played Chelsea, hate that they're having such success but you have to admire Conte, he's a top class manager and his passion is unmatched, very likeable fella.

Kante is a force of nature.

Chelsea much the better team. Well deserved victory. Should have been about four or five.

But I'm not talking about the last 50.minutes. at the time of posting they're wasting time.

Liam O

Wait, is AIG a Chelsea fan again?

RobertKK

Well done Chelsea, it is a pity it was not a 11 v 11.

I think this is good for United in a way, still would have preferred to have won, but it was the lowest priority given EL gives CL football as a prize.

Crackle

Thank **** for that. Should have been a more comfortable score in the end but a win will do just nicely.

Andersonisgod

Chelsea through and well deserved. Chelsea the better team and Conte the better coach. He's taken a team that finished 10th to the summit of the table, he could take them to a double and they do it with a swagger not seen at Chelsea in well over a decade. Wonderful.

mada999

Is Cahill speaking English??

EASY next

I don't think so. Ruined it for Utd maybe.

Not buying this at all. Even the circus land at the Santiago Bernabeu didn't want to pay that money. What makes you think Chelsea would pay it if Madrid wouldn't?

where the hell was Pogba?
