Manchester United suffered a 2-0 defeat to Chelsea in the Premier League, with defender Lisandro Martinez sent off during the match. The Argentinian centre-back's dismissal came as United struggled to contain Chelsea's attack.

Match of the Day pundits Danny Murphy and Stephan Warnock analysed Martinez's performance, questioning whether the defender has become a liability for his team. The red card left United with ten men for a significant portion of the game, effectively ending their hopes of a comeback.

The result leaves Manchester United without a win in this fixture, while Chelsea secured three points at home. The match report confirms the final score as Chelsea 2-0 Manchester United.
