Chelsea suffered their first defeat of the current Premier League season, losing 1-2 to Manchester United at Old Trafford.
Idman.biz reports that this failure extends the Londoners' winless streak at the 'Red Devils' stadium to 13 matches.
Trevo Chalobah, the central defender of 'The Blues', stated after the match that the team needs to take its work seriously: "We didn't play well enough, and the first 15 minutes were the weakest part of the season. The first half was very difficult for us. Of course, it's difficult to play with ten men, but we need to raise our standards and move forward."
Chalobah himself scored in the 80th minute, managing to reduce Chelsea's deficit. However, his goal did not save his team from defeat.
Chelsea's task was complicated by an early red card for goalkeeper Robert Sanchez and forced substitutions by head coach Enzo Maresca.
For Manchester United, this victory is considered an important result against the backdrop of a poor start to the season. Chelsea, in turn, will try to improve the situation in the next rounds, responding to criticism.
It should be noted that Chelsea's opponent in the Champions League group stage is Qarabag. The match between the teams will be held on November 5 in Baku.
