Chelsea demolished Manchester United at the Bridge

The most iconic match of the 2016/17 Premier League season saw the Blues decimate Manchester United 4-0, to ruin the Special One’s homecoming. The build-up was surreal- Jose Mourinho returning to the Bridge almost a year since he was unceremoniously sacked by Chelsea and that too, as the gaffer of the Red Devils. It took just 30 seconds for the champs to go up as Pedro rounded De Gea to put the ball into an open net.

Goals from Hazard, Cahill and Kante made it an unexpected rout as Chelsea had made a mockery of their proud opponents. Conte had ensured that his side was on top, in every aspect.

They capitalised on United’s horrendous defensive errors and the magnitude of the result made Chelsea serious title contenders. Throughout the match, chants of “You’re not special anymore” echoed in the stadium.
