Three things we learnt from Chelsea’s humiliation of Manchester United
In what will go down as one of Chelsea’s greatest performances and results of perhaps even the Abramovich era, Antonio Conte saw his side dismantle his predecessor, Jose Mourinho, with ease.
Pedro’s early strike for the Blues set the tone for the afternoon as a calamity of errors gave way to allow the Spaniard to open the scoring, with Gary Cahill added a second from some poor defending at a corner before half-time.
