Alvaro Morata scored the only goal as Chelsea bounced back in style and Manchester United fell eight points behind Manchester City.

Antonio Conte was wandering around the pitch, celebrating with his players, bumping chests with them, slapping hands, pumping his fists, saluting the crowd. What a win for the Italian, who was feeling the heat after a tough week. Chelsea deserved this. They were miles ahead of Manchester United today and could have won by more than one goal. In the end, though, Alvaro Morata’s splendid second-half header was enough for the champions to stay nine points behind Manchester City. United, meanwhile, are eight points behind the Premier League leaders after another appalling performance away to a big side under Jose Mourinho, who was woefully short of ideas today. Bye.
