That is the race for Champions League football done and dusted. Man Utd are in after smashing Chelsea 4-1 at Old Trafford.
Man Utd will be playing in the Champions League next season after Thursday’s 4-1 win over Chelsea sealed a top-four finish ahead of Liverpool.
This was a club record 16th defeat in a 38-match Premier League season for Frank Lampard’s Blues, who saw a bad early Mykhailo Mudryk miss punished by a sixth minute Casemiro header. Ten Hag stuck with the side that beat Bournemouth and took an early lead when Christian Eriksen sent over a free-kick from the left and Casemiro rose high to power a header past statuesque Kepa Arrizabalaga.
Play swung from end-to-end and United had a glorious chance to double their advantage when Eriksen put three team-mates through against one defender. Rashford replaced him and when play resumed Chelsea were again ruing another wasted chance, with Kai Havertz heading a Hall cross wide. It proved another costly miss as Casemiro played an exceptional pass through to Jadon Sancho, who delivered a low ball for Martial to turn in at the back post.
