Comments:

League position: 5th Manchester United were now unbeaten in their last 22 games in the Premier League (won 12); the longest current unbeaten run in the five major European leagues. The Red Devils had now lost only one of their last 38 games at Old Trafford in all competitions (won 25). Former Chelsea boss José Mourinho had now recorded at least one league win against all of the 34 opposition clubs that he had faced as a manager in the Premier League. Manchester United manager José Mourinho said: "I'm really happy with the boys. I'm happy, it's not because it's Chelsea, it's because we need these three points. I don't feel extra joy at beating Chelsea; we beat the leader. It doesn't matter if the leader is Chelsea or another, we beat them convincingly. Nobody can doubt our credit to win the game."

Comments:

League position: 1st With six games to play, Chelsea were now four points ahead of second-placed Tottenham Hotspur. The Blues had now lost two of their last four games in the Premier League. They had now failed to keep a clean sheet in ten consecutive games in the Premier League for the first time since December 1996. Marcos Alonso was originally named in the starting line-up before suffering an injury in the pre-match warm-up. Kurt Zouma was promoted to the starting XI with Nathan Aké taking his place on the bench. Chelsea manager Antonio Conte said: "It is simple. The fault is mine, because this type of situation the fault is the coach. I wasn't able to transfer the right concentration, the right motivation. This league is not closed. Tottenham are on great form and playing with great enthusiasm, but we are playing a great season and we must try to reach this target."
