Manchester United thrashed Chelsea by four goals, so here are four records set on a woeful night for the Blues and their fans.

Premier League giants Manchester United are back in the Champions League following an easy night against Chelsea at Old Trafford.

United thrashed their visitors 4-1 with two goals in either half to wrap up Champions League qualification with a game to spare on Thursday night.

Casemiro, Anthony Martial, Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford were the scorers on the night for the Red Devils while Joao Felix came off the bench to score a late consolation for the woeful Blues.

On what was a special night for the Reds, some interesting records were set. Here are four of the records.

Milestone for Erik Ten Hag - the fifth
The Dutchman who is in his first season at the club has performed magic with the Red this season.
With the win against Chelsea wrapping up Champions League football, Ten Hag has become only the first manager in United’s history to achieve that feat in his first season in charge.

Marcus Rashford milestone - 30 goals

After missing the club’s last two matches due to an injury, the England international returned sooner than he expected after Antony was forced off injured in the first half against Chelsea.

Rashford went on to score the fourth goal of the night, his 30th of the season, to become the first Man Utd player to reach 30 in a single campaign since Robin van Persie in 2012-13, and the first to hit 20 at Old Trafford since Wayne Rooney in 2009-10.

Chelsea claim unwanted record - 22 defeats
It has been a long and difficult season for the Blues whose painful defeat at Old Trafford was the 22nd of the season in all competitions.

Another unwanted Chelsea record - Casemiro's effect
Casemiro may be playing in his first season in the Premier League but his impact has been felt especially by Chelsea.

The Brazilian opened the scoring on Thursday night, his second goal in two matches against the Blues. His goal tonight earned Chelsea an unwanted record as they have now conceded the first goal in 17 different Premier League games this season – only in 1993-94 (22) and 1992-93 (18) have they done so more in a single campaign.
