The fixtures that will decide Manchester United’s top-four fate after devastating Chelsea defeat

Manchester United’s top-four hopes suffered a major blow as they conceded twice in injury-time to lose 4-3 at Chelsea in an all-time classic Premier League fixture.

A lacklustre United looked dead and buried when Conor Gallagher and Cole Palmer put Chelsea 2-0 up after 19 minutes at Stamford Bridge.

But Erik ten Hag’s side were level at the half-time interval thanks to goals from Alejandro Garnacho and Bruno Fernandes and the Argentine put the visitors ahead midway through the second-half.

For a long time it looked as though United would do enough to seal a crucial win and put pressure on top-four rivals Aston Villa and Tottenham, but Chelsea scored twice in injury-time to stun the Red Devils.
Palmer sent Andre Onana the wrong way to score his second penalty of the evening and seemingly earn Chelsea a point, but 82 seconds later the midfielder smashed home a dramatic winner to send Stamford Bridge wild and complete a remarkable hat-trick.

United will have to find a way to get over this devastating setback as they still have an outside chance of catching Villa and Spurs and finishing in the top-four.

Finishing fifth in the Premier League may yet be enough to qualify for the Champions League but as things stands only the top-four in England will make it into Europe’s top club competition.
