Chelsea Becomes Manchester United's 'Tumpal' To Eradicate Liverpool's Hope Of Appearing In The Champions League Next Season

JAKARTA - Manchester United secured a ticket for the Champions League next season after beating Chelsea in the English Premier League match, Friday, May 26, early morning WIB. Erik ten Hag's men won a comprehensive 4-1 victory over their guests at Old Trafford Stadium.

Casemiro, Anthony Martial, Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford scored against Chelsea whose defense was so fragile.

This result means that MU will no longer be evicted from the top four even though the English Premier League still has one more match left.

Having wavered recently, MU's position is now firmly in third place with 72 points. The Red Devils buried Liverpool's previous hopes of being a threat.

MU is now six points clear of Liverpool. Meanwhile, with Newcastle United in fourth place, MU is only two points adrift.

As for Chelsea, this is the 16th defeat in 37 Premier League games this season. Chelsea manager Frank Lampard, who saw Mykhailo Mudryk's failure at a bad start, was sentenced to Casemiro's header in the sixth minute.

Chelsea's chances continued throughout the match, including Conor Gallagher's failure in the final minutes of the first half. Precisely before the break, MU added the advantage through Martial's goal.

Penalti Bruno Fernandes dan gol pengganti Marcus Rashford membawa MU melengkap kemenangan pusar 4-1 setelah Joao Felix mencetak gol yang terlambat.

With this result, Chelsea slumped in 12th position in the standings with 43 points. However, the Blues' position could be even more threatened if in the last match they lost 17th.
