The match against Manchester United started poorly for Chelsea. From the very beginning, Enzo Maresca’s team faced a major setback when their goalkeeper was sent off, disrupting their game plan. This forced Maresca to quickly adapt.

Details: In the 5th minute, referee handed a red card to Chelsea goalkeeper Robert Sanchez. To address the crisis, the manager made three substitutions before halftime. He replaced an outfield player to bring in a new goalkeeper and adjusted the team’s formation.

In the 6th minute, Filip Jorgensen and Tosin Adarabioyo came in for Estevao and Pedro Neto. Later, in the 21st minute, Maresca made a surprising move by substituting star player Cole Palmer for Andrey Santos.

Cole Palmer appeared visibly upset about being taken off.
