In any case, he proceeded and arrowed an amazing exertion into the base corner and past Romero.

The equalizer provoked Solskjaer into changes. Anthony Martial and Andreas Pereira, the two starters against Norwich on Sunday, were presented for Victor Lindelof and Jesse Lingard, while Pulisic and Gilmour were both expelled for the home side.

Stamford Bridge had discovered its voice yet Chelsea neglected to kick on after the equalizer. Rather it was United recapturing a foot on the ball and the guests had a free-kick 30 yards from goal when Fred was fouled by Pedro.

Rashford was the man accused of taking the set-piece and he left the home group in dazed quietness when he found the top corner with an effervescing exertion that had echoes of Cristiano Ronaldo in the manner it undulated in the net.
