Chelsea piled more misery on Michael Carrick and 10-man Manchester United as they got back to winning ways in the Premier League.

After a goalless first half in west London, Morgan Rogers scored a brilliant opener before Lisandro Martinez was sent off for a foul on Wesley Fofana.

That handed Chelsea a penalty, which Cole Palmer converted to earn Xabi Alonso’s side a much-deserved three points.

Dom Smith was at Stamford Bridge to rate the Chelsea players’ performances...

Made a couple of important saves but United’s shots were not that threatening... until Bryan Mbeumo’s stunning effort was superbly pushed against the crossbar in stoppage time.

Chelsea’s most alert defender. Aware of danger and came careering in to make a few really vital challenges. A performance that bodes well for the future.

The worst player in a Chelsea shirt once again, though he did improve in the second half after a first 45 minutes that exposed him defensively.

Got his head to a few crosses and was disciplined defensively for the Blues.

Worked hard, starting as a No9 and then moving out to the right flank. Had a few nice give-and-goes with Estevao.

Chelsea’s man of the match. Put in a huge shift in the middle of the park and his interception led to Chelsea’s opener.

Solid as ever in midfield, helping to calm things down in the middle when needed.

First start in all competitions and didn’t make the most of it. His pace and positioning were pretty poor.

Good defensively at cutting things out and then added his 50th Premier League goal for Chelsea from the penalty spot.

Constantly tried to make things happen as he was finally handed his first league start under Alonso. Had two goals disallowed and was very bright.

Scored a sensational opening goal to break the deadlock and deserves his 7/10 for that alone.

Went to left-back (or left wing-back) to replace Palestra. Played to Palmer, who should have scored but blazed over.
