Hosts secure Champions League spot as Chelsea stay 12th
United hunted for the point they needed to seal qualification with Rashford a substitute after illness and the momentum of two wins in a row pushing them forward. There was, too, a snap in the challenge of Fernandes on Conor Gallagher that led to a corner, as United attacked in waves.
Contested in fading evening sunlight, the game ranged from end to end enticingly. Fernandes pinged the ball into Anthony Martial who spun it on for Antony. To no one’s surprise, he chopped inside and took aim with his favoured left foot but the shot careered past Arrizabalaga to his right. Chelsea’s lack of a No 9 despite a £600m transfer spend is an apt shorthand for their lost season. When Enzo Fernández sprayed the ball left to the 18-year-old Lewis Hall the fullback delivered a delicious cross that begged to be headed in from yards out. But it was aimed at Havertz, who has been forced into operating at centre-forward and is no natural predator. He missed the target by a few postcodes.
Fernandes should have done the same after a sharp Victor Lindelöf counterpress pilfered the ball off a dawdling Gallagher and the defender steered it into Sancho. He dummied and passed to Fernandes but, from near-in, the ball was crashed wastefully off the upright.
