Manchester United bounced back from their weekend defeat to Newcastle United with a well-deserved 2-1 win over Chelsea on Wednesday night.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Man Utd started really strongly and were well-worth their lead through Scott McTominay inside 20 minutes, having also seen Bruno Fernandes’ penalty saved. But the game went into half time level with Cole Palmer equalising for the visitors. <\/p>\n

McTominay got his second of the match midway through the second half and that would be enough for Man Utd to win the match, moving the Red Devils up to sixth. Chelsea, meanwhile, remain 10th but are already in danger of falling away.<\/p>\n

Here’s how the players rated at Old Trafford:<\/p>\n

Man Utd<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Andre Onana – 6 – <\/strong>Produced a good save to deny Jackson in the first half but was well-beaten by Palmer’s placed finish. That was pretty much all he had to do.<\/p>\n

Diogo Dalot – 7 – <\/strong>Got forward a lot, enjoying the space afford to him by Chelsea’s left-hand side. Defended well to prevent the ball from reaching Sterling in a Chelsea first-half attack.<\/p>\n

Victor Lindelof – 6 – <\/strong>Nine times out of 10, the way Lindelof defended against Palmer would have been good enough to stop an opportunity. The goal wasn’t his fault at all, he did all that could be asked of him. Taken off at half time.<\/p>\n

Harry Maguire – 7 – <\/strong>Named Premier League Player of the Month for November earlier in the day and he looked pretty comfortable, albeit not having too much defending to do.<\/p>\n

Luke Shaw – 7 – <\/strong>Set up Hojlund’s early chance with a great pass through the defence. Slightly more reserved than his full-back partner in the first half, but did well. Moved to centre-back for the second half and helped to make Man Utd’s defence solid.<\/p>\n

Scott McTominay – 8 – <\/strong>Looked good in midfield and scored the opening goal with a nice touch and finish inside the box under pressure from Colwill. Could have put Man Utd 2-0 up but his head and then rebound were saved by Sanchez. Did get his second with a great run at the back post to head home. His performance brought comparisons to former Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard who was, of course, known for his goals.<\/p>\n

Patrice Evra told Amazon Prime Sport: “Well done to Scott. He had so many chances because he’s at the right place, he’s always running into the box. That’s why he reminds me a little bit of Lampard.”<\/p>\n

\n

Scott McTominay has now scored more Premier League goals this season (5) than any other Man Utd player.<\/p>\n
