Chelsea had a red card, almost saving Manchester United coach Amorin's life, bringing him back to life, and Manchester United also ushered in the second victory of the season. In the early morning of September 21, in the highly-watched "Red and Blue Battle" of the Premier League, the "Red Devils" Manchester United defeated the "Blue Army" Chelsea 2:1 and achieved a rare victory. This score is enough to keep Amorin's coaching position in the midst of storms, but it is still unknown whether Manchester United can get on the right track.

Manchester United spent a lot of money in the new season and achieved little success. Before the start of this game, they only won one league game, which was almost a month ago.

The reason why Manchester United can score three-pointers from Chelsea, which is in a better shape, is mainly due to the team's high-pressure tactics after the opening, which makes Chelsea very passive when playing away. In the 4th minute, Sheshko headed the ball, Mbermo got the ball and formed a one-on-one striker, Chelsea goalkeeper Sanchez was forced to attack and trip him, and the referee showed the red card without hesitation.

This change disrupted Chelsea's pre-match deployment. As head coach Maresca said: "The red card completely changed the game. All plans were thrown into the trash can, so the game was very complicated." He replaced wingers Estewan and Neto, replaced goalkeeper Jorgensen and central defender Adarabiojo, completely pretending to be dead.

However, Manchester United is not so weak that they can't even score against 10 people. In the 14th minute, Mazravi made a cross, Doorgu headed the ball, and B Fei scored the ball, and Manchester United finally took the lead.

In the 21st minute, Chelsea suffered another heavy blow. Palmer ended up in the field due to injury, and Santos replaced him. "We need to use 5 players to defend. When we play 11 and 11, we can use 4 players to defend. Later we replace Palmer because he appears with an injury." Maresca explained after the game.

Manchester United's offense has not stopped. In the 37th minute, Luke Shaw jumped high and headed the ball, Casemiro scored, rewriting the score to 2:0, and Manchester United seemed to be sure to win. But Casemiro was a little proud. He forgot that he already had a yellow card. As the first half was about to end, he pulled down Santos, and the two yellows turned red and were sent off.

In this way, both sides returned to a balance of power in terms of numbers, but Manchester United was very lucky. They did not waste opportunities when they had the advantage and led by two goals, so that Chelsea seemed so anxious in the second half.

After 10-to-10 players, Chelsea clearly had the advantage, but it was not until the 80th minute that they took advantage of the corner kick opportunity to score a goal by Charoba heading back and finally lost 1:2.

This is an unnatural "red and blue battle". The premature red card deflected the even-matched contest. The alternative record of two goals in the first half, two red cards and three substitutions was also the first time since the establishment of the Premier League, but this is nothing to Amorin. The key is that his team won and won Chelsea.
