🚨 Exclusive: The White House made a direct call to FIFA to ask Gianni Infantino to review Folarin Balogun’s red card. FIFA approached for comment and referred to the findings of its independent committee.

FT: Chelsea 2 Manchester United 0. A sensational Morgan Rogers run and finish and a Cole Palmer penalty send Chelsea fourth. Lisandro Martinez foolishly sent off for a second yellow after fouling Wesley Fofana for the penalty. He wasn't even looking at the ball. Just totally needless, and rightly red carded. Madness from an experienced defender, and even more so given Martinez had been booked a minute earlier. Manchester United failed to take a string of first-half chances, Amad and Bruno Fernandes with the best of them, and Chelsea made them pay after the break. #CFC came out for the second half with more purpose while #MUFC looked a bit passive after the break even before the goals went in. Estêvão so lively and had two disallowed goals on his first Premier League start this season. Romeo Lavia also excellent and played a key role through his tenacity in the build up to Rogers' opener. And Mike Penders made a stunning save in injury time to deny a fiercely-hit Bryan Mbeumo volley. Penders was also solid against Liverpool in the League Cup and now has a clean sheet. Good response after his error against Spurs. Manchester United now on a nine-game winless run. Just one win and 10 goals scored. They could end the weekend in the relegation zone. Can't go bottom, though, because Coventry and playing Sunderland.🔵🔴

Cole Palmer now has 50 Premier League goals for Chelsea.🥶

Chelsea 2 Manchester United 0. Cole Palmer from the penalty spot. Looks like game over. Lisandro Martinez has cost #MUFC.🔵

Martinez sent off. Second yellow. Both in the space of about a minute. Woeful.🟥

Chelsea penalty. Horrible and careless from Lisandro Martinez.

Chelsea 1 Manchester United 0. Morgan Rogers with a sensational driving run and finish after magnificent work from Romeo Lavia.🔵

HT: Chelsea 0 Manchester United 0. Manchester United the better side but haven't been able to score. Matheus Cunha's poacher's finish from a corner was narrowly ruled out for offside. Amad should have also scored when clean through after an error from Wesley Fofana, the second time in the game the Chelsea defender gifted Amad a run on goal. Estêvão has been bright for Chelsea and also had a disallowed goal for offside. Moises Caicedo also hit the post but the ball appeared to come off his hand. Hard to see this one finishing 0-0.🔵🔴

Estêvão starts for Chelsea against Manchester United.🇧🇷

🚨 Bruno Fernandes back in the #MUFC XI to face Chelsea.
