Marcos Alonso’s goal for Chelsea: he scored the 1-0 partial against Manchester United | VIDEO

Manchester United’s defense does not look solid in the match against Chelsea, for date 37 of the Premier League. During the second half, the ‘Blues’ were in charge of breaking parity: Marcos Alonso inflated the nets with a powerful cross shot inside the area and silenced Old Trafford.

The clock was approaching 59 minutes and the ‘Red Devils’ had a goal kick, which David De Gea made with a long shot towards the location of Marcus Rashford. The clearance seemed perfect, but Reece James anticipated the striker and quickly initiated the departure from the London club.

Those led by Thomas Tuchel combined a series of short passes across the pitch, until N’Golo Kanté changed his pace. The Chelsea midfielder touched for César Azpilicueta and the Spaniard, unable to get a cross, extended possession to the right wing, where James advanced freely.

The English winger executed the aerial assistance, which could not be accurately connected by Kai Havertz. However, the German’s header benefited Marcos Alonso, who volleyed with his left foot and overcame the resistance of goalkeeper David De Gea, despite the great stretch he made.

Let’s remember that until before this game, Chelsea was in third place in the Premier League standings, with 65 points; while Manchester United was located in the sixth box, adding 54 units, with fewer options to enter the qualifying zone for the next Champions League.
