Manchester United vs Chelsea: Robert Sanchez showed earliest red card for London Club

Chelsea goalkeeper Robert Sanchez only saw a red card for five minutes in the Premier League collision against Manchester United in Old Trafford, the earliest resignation for a Chelsea player ever.

The resignation of the Spanish custodian was also the third fastest for a goalkeeper in the history of the competition.

Sanchez was caught a burning run from Bryan Mbeumo, which was played in the defense after a header on from Benjamin Sesko.

With the keeper who hit him, the Cameroonian managed to drop the ball along the Spaniard, blow a blow to his knee and earn a mistake in the process.

The referee was quickly swinging on a red card after the fault, which reduced Chelsea to ten men at Old Trafford. Manager Enzo Maresca was forced to shake the peloton after the marsorders with keeper Filip Jorgensen and defender Tosin Adaribioyo came up.

Willian Estevao and Pedro Neto attacked broad players and were replaced. Maresca changed a further change in half and removed Cole Palmer for a more defensive midfielder in Anyy Santos.
