On the 18th (Korean time), Manchester United won 2-0 in the 26th round away match of the 2019-20 English Premier League (EPL) held at Stamford Bridge in London, UK.

Having previously defeated Chelsea 4-0 in the EPL opening match and 2-1 in the Carabao Cup round of 16, Manchester United's record against Chelsea this season now stands at 3 wins out of 3 matches.

In the 9th minute of the second half, during a Chelsea corner kick, Zouma's volley shot resulted in a goal. However, after a Video Assistant Referee (VAR) review, the goal was disallowed due to a foul by Azpilicueta.

In the 20th minute of the second half, from a Manchester United corner kick, Fernandes delivered a precise ball that Maguire connected with a header to score the decisive goal.

In the 31st minute of the second half, Mount crossed from the right side, and Giroud scored a diving header, but once again, VAR ruled it offside, and the goal was not recognized.

Manchester United also introduced their newly signed player Ighalo during stoppage time in the second half, marking his debut. The match ended without further significant events from either side.
