A focus battle in the 37th round of the Premier League started at Stamford Bridge Stadium. Chelsea 1-0 Manchester United did get excited, which is also the most critical battle on the road to four. The only goal in this game was a header from defender Kukurelia in the second half to secure the victory. Chelsea scored 66 points in the first game, temporarily ranking fourth in the standings. The team hopes that Manchester City can rank fourth if they lose points. After the game, Manchester United continued the sluggish period of eight rounds of unwinding, and the team's prospects became increasingly bleak. At the beginning of the game, both sides were strengthening their offense. Manchester United almost scored a goal in the 16th minute. B Fee accurately passed the ball to find Maguire who was in front, and the latter scored. However, after VAR intervened, he decided that Maguire was offside first and the goal was invalid. This penalty undoubtedly poured cold water on Manchester United's offensive momentum.
Then, Chelsea began to control the situation on the court. In the 24th minute, Maduaike made a cross from the left, Rees James' volley outside the top of the arc was extremely threatening, and the ball hit the post and bounced out, Chelsea missed an excellent opportunity to break the deadlock. Since then, Chelsea has continued to put pressure. Palmer's long shot and Enzo's shot in the penalty area have tested Manchester United's defense, especially when Enzo's shot hit Hoylen's arm. Chelsea players strongly complained about the penalty, but the referee ignored it. In the first half stoppage time, the continuous attacks of Maduaike and Palmer, as well as Enzo's supplementary shots, showed the vitality of Chelsea's offside when the supplementary shot was over. In the first half, the two sides shook hands 0-0.
The second half of the game was relocated, and the two sides still fought fiercely. Manchester United have multiple opportunities to counterattack, and neither Amade nor B Fei's shots were able to hit the target. Chelsea is more patient and organized in offensive organization. The turning point of the game occurred in the 71st minute. Neto passed the ball from the right, and Rees James showed excellent personal ability. He broke away from the defense through the Marseille swing and passed the penalty area accurately. Kukurelia at the back point jumped high and headed the ball to the defensive player. The goal instantly ignited the atmosphere at Stamford Bridge Stadium, with Chelsea leading 1-0.
After that, both sides continued to look for opportunities to expand the score or equalize the score. Maduaike, Neto, Amad and others all tried their best, but they failed to rewrite the score. Chelsea maintained the advantage of 1 goal until the end of the game.
For Chelsea, this victory is of great significance. In the fiercely competitive Premier League four situation, Chelsea temporarily ranked fourth with three-pointers in this game. Under the leadership of Maresca, the team showed strong resilience and tactical execution. Rees and James has excellent offense and defense in this game. Not only did he successfully intercept and clear the defensive end, but he also created key opportunities for the team in offense. His passing accuracy and breakthrough ability have become an important weapon for Chelsea to open up the situation.
Cukurelia performed well at home this season. His header in this game is his seventh goal this season, and all of them come from home. It can be said that Stamford Bridge Fuxing defends his home dignity. His outstanding performance also adds offensive firepower to the team's defense.
In contrast, Manchester United's record of 8 rounds has put the team in a dilemma. Manchester United only shot twice in the game in this game, and the problem of weak offense is still prominent. The team lacks coherence in tactical execution, and the offensive end cannot create enough threatening opportunities, while the defensive end has multiple loopholes. The players' performance on the court also seemed to be lacking in confidence, and Amad's fake fall and yellowing exposed the team's impatient mentality in a backward situation.
Manchester United coach Amorin needs to seriously reflect on the team's tactical arrangements and player status adjustments after the game. How to lead the team out of the current sluggishness will be a huge challenge he faces. After this season, the team also needs to include strong players in the summer to look forward to regaining dominance in the new season.
Currently, Chelsea and Manchester United have schedules for the European finals. Before the Chelsea European Union Finals will face Real Betis, they will also play the away game against Nottingham Forest in the last round of the league. Manchester United will play against Tottenham in the UEFA Europa League final, and will play against dark horse Villa in the last round of the league.
