The English midfielder scored twice and allowed his team to widen the gap in the standings. Cheslsea are fourth in Champions League qualifying, three points clear of rivals Mancunian in fifth.

Match after match, the new Chelsea coach, Graham Potter, wowed, the Blues having won a 5th victory in a row, in all competitions. In addition to having widened the gap with United, the Blues are now only 4 units behind Tottenham, third, who have one more game.
Although sometimes jostled by Steven Gerrard’s men, the Blues provided the essentials under the eyes of England coach Gareth Southgate who came to observe the meeting. Villa central Tyrone Mings (17 caps) did not score any points by offering the opener on a plateau, with a harmless but totally missed header, to Mason Mount in the 6th minute (0 -1).
The attacking midfielder of Chelsea, on the contrary, shone by scoring a second goal with a magnificent floating free kick (0-2, 65th), his first two goals of the season. The score is however quite flattering for Chelsea who, without Kepa once again impeccable in the cages, could have been joined in the first period.
United and Newcastle neutralize each other
As for the meeting between Mancuniens and Magpies, if the result will have the merit of preserving the good dynamics of the two teams, they may regret the opportunities left on the way. ewcastle by Joelinton, who found the crossbar with his header then the post with his foot (38th) should have opened the scoring, but Fred, at the very end of the match, with only one defender on the line to protect the opposing goal, did not did not find the frame (88th).
Cristiano Ronaldo, holder for only the second time of the season in the league, before giving up his place in the 72nd minute to Marcus Rashford, missed an opportunity to shine. But with the reception of Tottenham (3rd) on Wednesday, Manchester did not will not have time to ruminate if he wants to confirm his place as a contender for the C1.
