Chelsea vs Manchester United: 5 Talking Points & Tactical Analysis

#5 Sarri needs his strikers to fire

Alvaro Morata had just one shot on target

As much as Eden Hazard has got Chelsea going this season, the same cannot be said of their strikers. Alvaro Morata has only scored twice in the Premier League this season while Olivier Giroud is yet to get off the mark.

In this game, while Morata did play as a good foil for Hazard with the constant swapping of positions to outwit the United defence, his lack of shots on goal will be a concern for Maurizio Sarri.

The Spaniard had only two shots in the entire match of which only one tame shot at David De Gea was on target. Giroud replaced him with 15 minutes to play (including stoppage time) but he, too, failed to get a single shot in the game.

Ultimately, it fell to Ross Barkley to score the equaliser in all the confusion in stoppage time as Luiz's header rebounded off the post with De Gea a mere spectator as no defender was in sight to make a block.
