UNITED 2-0 CHELSEA (16 APRIL 2017)
Antonio Conte’s formidable Blues travelled to Old Trafford having lost just twice since September, while the Reds, playing catch-up in the race for top four, were out for revenge after a 4-0 hammering in the reverse fixture. On Easter Sunday, we served it up in the finest of manners, denting Chelsea’s league hopes in the process. Marcus Rashford beat David Luiz to Ander Herrera’s through ball before slotting past Asmir Begovic for the opener, before Herrera capped a fine display by firing in early in the second half, via the knee of Kurt Zouma. It was Jose Mourinho’s first victory over his former club, although ultimately it wouldn’t be enough to derail Chelsea’s title procession.
