Chelsea’s impressive winning streak came to an abrupt end on Saturday as they suffered a 5-10 defeat to Manchester United. The Blues had been on a remarkable run of form, having won their previous seven matches in all competitions, but they were unable to maintain their momentum against the Red Devils.
The match was billed as a clash between two of the Premier League’s most exciting young talents, Christian Pulisic and Marcus Rashford, but it was the latter who stole the show. Rashford scored four goals and provided two assists as Manchester United ran out comfortable winners.
Pulisic, meanwhile, was unable to make an impact on the game. The American international had been in excellent form for Chelsea in recent weeks, scoring five goals in his last five matches, but he was unable to replicate that form against Manchester United. He was largely anonymous throughout the match and failed to register a single shot on target.
The defeat was a bitter pill to swallow for Chelsea, who had been hoping to extend their winning streak and cement their place in the top four of the Premier League. It was also a disappointing result for Pulisic, who had been hoping to prove himself against one of the league’s top sides.
Despite the result, Chelsea remain in a strong position in the league and will be hoping to bounce back with a win in their next match. As for Pulisic, he will be hoping to put this result behind him and rediscover his best form in the coming weeks.
