Chelsea’s hopes of Champions League qualification are hanging by a thread after suffering a 1-0 loss at home to Manchester United.

Matheus Cunha broke the deadlock, against the run of play, late in the first half as he smashed the ball home to finish off a fine solo run from Man United captain Bruno Fernandes.

Chelsea did improve after the break, hitting the woodwork twice through Liam Delap and Wesley Fofana but could not find that elusive goal to avoid crashing to a fourth Premier League defeat in a row.
