Manchester United 2-0 Chelsea Live Score, Premier League: Casemiro Sent Off, Both Teams Down To 10

The whirlwind first half finally comes to an end. It was all United till stoppage time, when Casemiro messed up to see red and bring the match back to numerical parity. All to play for Chelsea in the second half. Let's see what they can do after the break.

Well, well, well. As if there wasn't already enough drama in this encounter, United are now down to 10 like Chelsea, as goal-scorer Casemiro is shown his second yellow card for a foul on Andrey Santos. This could be the boost that Chelsea needed to forge a way back.

As many as nine minutes have been added as extra time to the first half, owing to all the stoppages, be it the VAR check of Bruno Fernandes's goal, fouls, or Sanchez's dramatic ejection.

Casemiro puts Manchester United two to the good. A cross clearance goes awry for Reece James and Harry Maguire makes a headed pass to Casemiro, who does the rest. United all over Chelsea in the first half.  

United go ahead! Bruno Fernandes stabs in Patrick Dorgu's header from close range in the 14th minute and a VAR review is immediately called to check for offside. It's a really tight call, so much so that the VAR team tells the referee that they will need longer.

The goal eventually stands, and the Red Devils capitalise on a one-man advantage early. Can Chelsea find a way back from here?

What a dramatic start to the game. Chelsea are down to 10 in the fifth minute, as their goalkeeper Robert Sanchez makes heavy work of a save to try and deny Bryan Mbeumo. Out comes the red card, and there is not much protest as it was a clear ejection-worthy foul.

Substitute goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen comes in for the Blues, replacing Estevao Willian. It will be a free-kick from outside the box.

We are off! Play gets underway in Manchester with the home side kicking from left to right and Chelsea from right to left in the first half. The insistent downpour could mean conditions play a crucial role tonight.

It's raining at the Old Trafford, a fresh element of context to tonight's encounter. United need an inspired performance, and no better place to do it than home. Chelsea would pose as daunting a challenge as it gets, however.

Over at the Santiago Bernabeu, Real Madrid beat Espanyol 2-0 to stay perfect with their fifth straight win, and remain on top of the Spanish league table. Eder Militao and Kylian Mbappe scored in the 22nd and 47th minutes, respectively for Los Blancos.

And here is how Enzo Maresca's side lines up for their away game at Old Trafford:
