On Wednesday night, the two teams battled out an exciting, end-to-end contest. United had several early, great chances, including a penalty save by Robert Sanchez from Bruno Fernandes.

In the nineteenth minute, United finally broke through thanks to some well-deserved аggressive play as McTominay delicately placed the ball into the bottom corner. However, they were set back against the run of play just before halftime.

After one of several risky transitions by Chelsea, Cole Palmer found himself with a chance on the edge of the box. With a fantastic touch, he expertly rolled the ball into the far corner of the net.

United were unfazed and carried over their second-half play into the 69th minute, when McTominay scored his second goal, despite a brief intervention from video assistant referee.

Despite Colwill’s collapse to the ground after a strugglе with the Scotland international at the back post, the goal was upheld due to the lack of substantial contact.

United, who have had a rough season so far, are now just three points behind Manchester City, the defending champions, thanks to a 2-1 win that they could have easily scored more.Alan Shearer was quite critical of Colwill’s defense, believing that the former Brighton loanee surrendered too readily. The game was ultimately settled by McTominay’s second goal.

“That defense from Colwill is really weak,” Shearer stated on Amazon Prime Video. Their arms interlocked in that position, so it was clear that they were both engaged.

It went to video assistant referee, but there was no foul; the ball would never have been overturned. There is where the defense ought to be handling the situation.However, McTominay deserves a lot of the credit since he wаnted it more than the defender and managed to get it. It ended up winning the game for them.

‘The left-back, he went down extremely softly there,’ Patrice Evra, a fellow commentator, concurs. He lacked firmness.

The legendary Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink of Chelsea chimed in: “It’s a goal.” You must be physically capable of defending your box. No matter your size, you will never be able to lose possession of the ball at the second post.
