What Matheus Cunha did after Man United beat Chelsea speaks volumes.
Manchester United attacker Matheus Cunha returned to the first-team squad on Saturday night as the Reds beat Chelsea at Old Trafford.
Manchester United forward Matheus Cunha’s celebrations after the 2-1 victory over Chelsea at Old Trafford showed exactly how big a result it was for the Reds on Saturday.
Bruno Fernandes punished Chelsea almost immediately before Casemiro added a second before the break. With United in control, the context of the match switched as the Brazilian was sent off for a second bookable offence.
After the interval, the task for United turned to consolidation which they were doing a good job of until Trevoh Chalobah’s header ten minutes from the end. A nervous finish ensued but the Reds saw the game out with Cunha holding the ball by the corner flag.
Once the full-time whistle was blown, there was a clear release in emotions from Cunha. He turned towards the Stretford End and booted the ball into the crowd, shouting in celebration towards the home fans before being embraced by his teammates.
