How did the match pan out?

De Gea managed to let in a tame flick from Olivier Giroud at the stroke of half-time. Right after the break, United saw De Gea commit a howler. Mason Mount drove forward and took a pot shot from 25 yards to beat De Gea. Chelsea kept the pressure on United and Harry Maguire scored an own goal. Bruno Fernandes earned a consolation penalty.
