Chelsea starting XI:
Mike Penders:The Belgian goalkeeper remains under pressure after his mistake againstTottenhamlast week, but he was steady here and made several comfortable saves.7
Josh Acheampong:The young defender looked shaky early on but recovered well, making a fantastic block from a Bruno Fernandes volley and improving as the game went on.6
Wesley Fofana:The Frenchman made a brilliant block from one of Amad Diallo's shots but was twice at fault as the winger broke clear on the counter-attack. His header also struck the post after taking a deflection off Moises Caicedo in a chaotic display. Fofana also won the second-half penalty.5
Levi Colwill:The England defender was part of an overall poor defensive display but did not make any obvious errors himself.6
Marco Palestra:The Italian made some good recovery runs on his first start for Chelsea but was also part of a below-par defensive display from an organisational perspective.7
Moises Caicedo:Influential presence in a scrappy midfield battle, helping Chelsea compete physically in the centre of the pitch.6
Romeo Lavia:Often the player who helped Chelsea play through Manchester United's pressure, sparking several counter-attacks with intelligent passing. Won the ball for Chelsea's opener.7
Pedro Neto:Arguably Chelsea's most dangerous attacker but finishing let him down, with one effort saved and another fired well wide in the first half. 6
Cole Palmer:A quiet game by his standards and unconvincingly scored a second-half penalty. Aside from that, he attempted an ambitious effort from inside his own half and gifted United one of their major chances. 6
Estevao Willian:Lost possession with his first touch but recovered impressively. Looked lively throughout, having a couple of dangerous-looking shots on goal and two that he scored but were ruled out for offside. His set-pieces were also of consistent high quality.8
Morgan Rogers:A surprisingly anonymous start and struggled in the number nine position until he was given the chance to run at United's defence, scoring with a sublime dink in the 50th minute.8
Chelsea substitutes:
Pep Chavarria (on 71, Palestra):Game was already won when he entered.6
Malo Gusto (on 86, Pedro Neto)
Valentin Barco (on 86, Estevao Willian)
Danny Welbeck (on 86, Moises Caicedo)
Geovany Quenda (on 90, Cole Palmer)
