Manchester United came from behind to beat Chelsea in a dramatic Premier League match on Saturday.

The Chelsea side, managed by Enzo Maresca, suffered their first loss of the season after being reduced to ten men just five minutes in at Old Trafford.

Goalkeeper Robert Sánchez was shown a straight red card. Substitute goalkeeper Filip Jörgensen took his place, with Estêvão being replaced.

Bruno Fernandes opened the scoring for United in the 14th minute. Manager Enzo Maresca made further tactical changes before the 21st minute, replacing Cole Palmer and Pedro Neto with Andrey Santos and Tosin Adarabioyo.

The Red Devils doubled their lead in the 37th minute through Casemiro, but the midfielder was sent off before halftime.

The Blues pulled a goal back in the 80th minute through Trevoh Chalobah, but rarely threatened an equaliser for the remainder of the match.

The victory, United's second of the season, is a much-needed boost for manager Ruben Amorim after last week's 3-0 defeat to Manchester City.

In an interview with Moldova 1 TV, she explained that while Europe is attempting to maintain strategic balance by providing military support to Ukraine, the United States is indicating a partial withdrawal, as Russia shows no signs of making concessions.
