In a thrilling encounter at Stamford Bridge last night, Chelsea edged past Manchester United with a narrow 4-3 victory.
Speaking post-match, Holjund reflected on the intense battle, acknowledging the team’s effort against a formidable Chelsea side. “We tried our best to hold them down, it wasn’t easy coming here. We had to fight and we did but we were just unlucky,” he stated, highlighting the challenges faced by United in their away fixture.
Garnacho further commented on Chelsea’s defense, which, despite showing signs of weakness, posed significant challenges for United’s attackers. “The dedication they gave and also their defense, even though was a bit weak, still manage to cause problems for us. One of them was even all over me and that I couldn’t score,” Holjund added, pointing out his personal duel on the pitch that it did deter him from finding the back of the net.
The match was a testament to the competitive spirit of both teams, with Chelsea taking advantage of their opportunities to secure a win.
Manchester United, on the other hand, showcased resilience and determination, as evidenced by Garnacho’s contribution who helped the side later in the game.
However, luck was not on their side, leaving them to reflect on what could have been in this high-octane Premier League clash.
