Match Reports

Manchester United moved into the EFL Cup quarter-finals with a 2-1 win over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday.

A penalty and a spectacular free-kick from Marcus Rashford sealed a third away win in a row in all competitions for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side.

Michy Batshuayi had drawn Chelsea level but Rashford struck in sublime fashion just as the home side looked to be building momentum, inflicting a first defeat on Frank Lampard's side since the 2-1 loss to Liverpool on September 22.

Match Events

12' McTominay's shot wide out

Good chance for United, the best opportunity so far! The visitors play a short corner, drilling the ball to McTominay, who gets away from his marker and he fires the ball towards the near post, but it ripples the sidenetting.

25' Penalty Goal! Chelsea 0-1 Man Utd (Rashford)

Rashford converts from the penalty spot, to make it 1-0 to United! The striker sends Caballero, who dived early, the wrong way. He slides the ball into the other corner of the net.

61' GOAL! Chelsea 1-1 Man Utd (Batshuayi)

Batshuayi with a terrific individual run and strike to get Chelsea back in the game. It's a long clearance by Caballero, which Batshuayi wins ahead of Maguire and then turns and sprints at the United defence, before firing it into the back of the net from 25 yards out, straight into the bottom right-hand corner.

73' GOAL! Chelsea 1-2 Man Utd (Rashford)

The striker with a special free-kick, he gets it up and over the wall and enough dip on it to make it fly into the top left-hand corner of the net, Caballero was nowhere near it. Superb.
