Figure caption, Chelsea beat 10-man Man Utd to pile more pressure on Carrick
Chelsea took full advantage of Manchester United's second-half collapse to condemn the visitors to a third straight loss and heap yet more pressure on Michael Carrick.
United are now without a win in nine games in all competitions, their longest such run since October-November 1988.
A fourth Premier League defeat of the season leaves United 16th, a point above the relegation zone, with under-fire boss Carrick in an increasingly precarious position just days after being given the chance turn things around following a dismal start to the campaign.
After an encouraging first-half performance, United allowed Morgan Rogers to saunter unchallenged through the heart of the defence to dink home the opener for Chelsea five minutes after the break.
