Fantastic game from our boys.
If only we could do that against the shite.
Should have scored more but can't have everything. Son Alli Eriksen and Kane gave them the run around non stop tonight.
Def penalty.
Valencias knee in Sons back should have been a booking in first half.
Son should have squared to Kane but hey ho 3 pts and 5pts from 2nd place :)
A good night all round.

Imagine being a Chelsea fan at Stamford Bridge tonight, going home on the train through Wembley and longing for the days of your hero Rafa Benitez...

Lovely 3 points, lovely play. Embarrassing from referee to miss the penalty.
Vertonghen is so good this season, unbelievable.

United's whole team looked like José Domínguez - a few little flicks, but as strong as tissue paper and another really sure what they were doing.

Fantastic performances all over the pitch and in the dugout.

Mourinho's plan was just to overload Trippier and Sanchez and it didn't work at all.

The press was back we pressed them to death and outclassed them completely.

Vertonghen was immense as were Dele and Eriksen.

A special mention to Dembele who completely bossed it.

Only negative was Kane who on another day could have easily scored 3.

Lucas Moura was sat behind me and seemed to enjoy himself tremendously.

On his feet when the second went in.

I'll put this down to the Moura-effect. One or two of our boys looking over their shoulder. At long last.

I put this down to players recovered from sickness and niggling injuries, playing the biggest team in the premier who conceded 2 goals they wouldn't have expected to but also they would have believed they would have caused more threat. I can't put it down to signing and feeling threatened by a player yet to adopt to the premier league.

We were fantastic. The energy was wonderful and the skill level v. high.
Dele was really, really good and worked v. hard for the team.
Eriksen was terrific in keeping us ticking over.
Dier played his best game in CM in a long time.
Lots of positives.
Well done lads!
PS The ref was terrible...can say that more easily after a win!
