Manchester United produced an excellent comeback performance to defeat Chelsea in the English Premier League on Sunday, moving back up into second place.
With the league title race all but over, the main aim for Jose Mourinho’s side in the tail-end of the season is finishing in the top four and wins over direct rivals like Chelsea are the kind of results that’ll ensure that.
The three points won at Old Trafford this weekend mean that they are now six points ahead of the fifth placed Blues.
It threatened to be a bad day for the Red Devils after Willian opened the scoring in the 32nd minute, but Romelu Lukaku equalised just minutes later before Jesse Lingard found the winner in the second half.

Fans were delighted with the result and performance and had particular praise for Lukaku, who scored his first goal against a top six side this season, finally delivering on the big money paid for him last summer.
Reported to be earning £250,000-a-week, United bought him for occasions like these and supporters loved seeing him reach his potential.
