"Every single player has to try to work with and without the ball, otherwise we lose our balance and then we lose the game".

Chelsea, who have a solid record away to Manchester United in the Premier League, were last victorious at Old Trafford during the brief reign of Rafael Benitez in May 2013. Despite that, Martial exited, replaced by Jesse Lingard, and the game changed. Romelu Lukaku proved he can do it against the big dogs, as he netted his first goal against Chelsea, the club in which he has bitter memories with.

The Belgian also created Jesse Lingard's victor, crossing for the substitute's 75th-minute header.

Came on as a substitute and scored a deciding header from Lukaku's cross. Some might understandably point to Diego Costa's pugnacious attitude in his three-year spell at the club, though even that disappeared when the chips were down during Mourinho's last few months in charge.

This time the unexpected that he unveiled lacked width but boasted a surprise factor.

The Premier League's most recent meeting between Manchester United and Chelsea is one to remember. Find us on Facebook too! There were moments when Sanchez seemed N'Golo Kante's designated man-marker, a flair player chasing a workhorse.

"He is a fantastic player, a player that is a modern midfield player, he can do everything", Mourinho said. In any case, the difficulty was putting theory into practice and its designer implied the masterplan was compromised by human failings.

'I started playing when I was 16.

"But we're players that are ready for it and to put on performance the next game". He didn't overtly celebrate the goal against a club where he played from 2011-14 and almost joined again last summer. I don't listen to it [the criticism].

However, most of the talk surrounding the fixture focused on the feud with Conte.

The Belgian striker had been heavily criticised for his poor goal return against strong opposition, and the 24-year-old was keen to make his case at Old Trafford yesterday.

Lukaku's supporting cast and how they are set up was a point Alan Shearer also picked up on, suggesting it might explain the striker's poor goal tally against the EPL's better teams.

"This could be our position for sure", said Conte.

And Smalling is confident United can win both after proving against Chelsea they can perform when it matters.

Against Chelsea, the former Blues forward actually received service into his feet, instead of just long balls carelessly aimed in his direction.

Speaking at his post-match news conference, Conte said: "It was a tactical decision. I think we are a very good team but there are some other good teams around us as well".

But the game's decisive solution came in the shape of the exuberant Lingard, who scored two minutes after Hazard's withdrawal. That is the winner's prerogative.
