As if it was predestined, Manchester United's terrible form continued on Halloween as well, this time with a horror at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea brushed aside the ten-man Red Devils 2-0 and showed that they are currently a much better team than their fierce rivals.Manchester United lost at Chelsea. That’s 9 games without a win across all competitions for the first time since 1988. Back then, United drew 7 and lost 2. This time they’ve drawn 3 and lost 6. They’ve managed to make 7 draws in 9 games sound like the good old days. https://t.co/3dxdtT4RXO— Kinney | Stats & Stories (@Kinneyview) October 31, 2026 Truth be told, the performance United put in the first half was decent, especially compared to their recent displays in horrendous defeats to Como (4-1) and Bournemouth (3-0). In fact, it was a miracle we witnessed a goalless opening period.Bruno Fernandes and Amad Diallo wasted some fantastic opportunities, while Matheus Cunha's opener in the 34th minute was disallowed for offside.On the other hand, Chelsea threatened occasionally through Estevao, but the impression was that the visitors were closer to breaking the deadlock.Glazers and Ratcliffe are seriously at oddsNevertheless, just five minutes into the second half, the Blues scored and paved the way for their victory, while the final blow for their rivals came 13 minutes later.Anyway, Romeo Lavia did a terrific job stealing the ball near the halfway line, and Morgan Rogers made a superb solo run, ending it with a classy chip over Senne Lammens.In the 63rd minute, Lisandro Martinez was booked for a foul near his team's box. Harry Maguire reacted after a free-kick cross, giving Chelsea a corner kick, after which the Argentine recklessly elbowed Wesley Fofana, conceding a penalty and receiving a second yellow card!When Cole Palmer sent the spot kick home, it was clear that the Red Devils were doomed, while their fans at Stamford Bridge started leaving the stands, visibly disappointed with their lads' performance.Man United's defeat could have been even worse, but Estevao's 71st-minute goal was ruled out for a tiny offside. Still, either way, the Red Devils' situation seems absolutely horrendous, as they could finish the ninth Premier League round in the relegation zone!Another huge blow for the fallen giants…PREMIER LEAGUE – MATCHDAY 9SaturdayChelsea – Manchester United 2-0 (0-0)/Rogers 50, Palmer 64 pen/18.00: (2.15) Bournemouth (3.60) Leeds (3.20)18.00: (2.10) Brentford (3.80) Nottingham Forest (3.20)18.00: (2.90) Coventry (3.45) Sunderland (2.40)18.00: (2.60) Hull (3.50) Ipswich (2.65)18.00: (1.65) Manchester City (4.40) Brighton (4.40)20.30: (1.55) Tottenham (4.30) Crystal Palace (5.40)23.00: (1.92) Aston Villa (3.80) Fulham (3.60)Sunday19.30: (2.80) Liverpool (3.50) Arsenal (2.45)Monday23.00: (2.35) Newcastle (3.60) Everton (2.85)***odds are subject to change***
