"Referee Peter Bankes took his time to assess the situation before brandishing a straight red card. Sanchez was giving his marching orders because of the denial of an obvious goalscoring opportunity ruling, which is crucial with regards to the length of his suspension. Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca opted to take off Estevao and Pedro Neto in response to the red card, bringing on Filip Jorgensen as the replacement goalkeeper and Tosin Adarabioyo in an attempt to shore up the defence."
"However, Casemiro was sent off on the stroke of half-time for two bookable offences to set up an interesting second half. Trevoh Chalobah's 79th minute header did give the Blues hope but United held on for all three points in a result that eases the pressure on head coach Ruben Amorim. As for Chelsea, it's back to the drawing board after successive defeats this week and for Sanchez to reflect on his rash decision."
Referee Peter Bankes issued a straight red to Sanchez for denying an obvious goalscoring opportunity, which determines the length of his suspension. Chelsea reacted by substituting Estevao and Pedro Neto and bringing on Filip Jorgensen as goalkeeper and Tosin Adarabioyo to reinforce the defence. Casemiro was sent off on the stroke of half-time for two bookable offences, leaving both teams with ten players. Trevoh Chalobah scored a 79th-minute header to give Chelsea hope, but United held on for a 3-point win that eases pressure on Ruben Amorim. Sanchez will serve a one-game suspension and miss the Carabao Cup trip to Lincoln.
