?Chelsea handed Manchester United their second loss of the season after putting in a remarkable shift to beat their former boss’ side 1-0 at Stamford Bridge.
Alvaro Morata’s second-half goal proved the difference maker in what was a feisty affair between the two sides, getting on the end of yet another pass from Cesar Azpilicueta to score a magnificent header that left David de Gea rooted to the spot.
United huffed and puffed nearing the end of the match, with Marouane Fellaini returning to action and making a right nuisance of himself. But the Blues held on to their lead, seeing the game out and closing the gap between themselves and the Red Devils to a single point.
As it turns out, Romelu Lukaku had zero touches in the Blues’ box and was hardly a threat. And as you would expect, fans were quick to point out how poor the Belgian was via Twitter.
Below are some of the best tweets stemming from the match.

Man Utd fans insulted Morata’s head all season but are now wishing Lukaku has a head to finish the 3578524 crosses they made today

Lacazette is better than I expected, Morata is exactly what I expected, Lukaku is worse than I expected.

Morata dyed his hair red because he knew he was going to score the winner against United. Ahead of the curve.

10 – No player has scored more headed goals in the big five European leagues since the start of last season than Alvaro Morata. Leap.

Bakayoko intercepting Matic’s cross in the final seconds has just topped that game off. #CFC#CHEMUN

This was Conte’s biggest game of the season. His job was at stake and he has delivered.
What a game. What a manager. What a team!
