Man United Return To Champions League After 4-1 Win Over Chelsea

Manchester United are back in the Champions League after a 4-1 win over Chelsea at Old Trafford on Thursday night secured a top-four finish in the Premier League. Needing only a point to be sure of a return to Europe’s top club competition with a game to spare, Casemiro, Anthony Martial, Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford scored the goals as Chelsea fell to their ninth defeat in their past 12 games.

Casemiro’s header and Martial’s close-range finish put United 2-0 up at half-time before Fernandes converted a penalty and Rashford, on as a substitute for Antony, got a fourth in the second half. Joao Felix got a late consolation for the visitors.

The only downside for Erik ten Hag was an injury to Antony, who had to be stretchered off in the first half and will be an early doubt for the FA Cup final against Manchester City at Wembley on June 3.
