Manchester Utd 2-0 Chelsea

Jose Mourinho got the better of former club Chelsea as Manchester United injected life into their top-four hopes - and the Premier League title race.

Much was riding on Sunday's Old Trafford encounter, with the battle for Champions League football heating up as Antonio Conte's table-toppers attempt to ward off ever-improving Tottenham.

The fixture lived up to the pre-match hype as Marcus Rashford and Ander Herrera secured a 2-0 win which gave Mourinho revenge for this season's defeats at Stamford Bridge.

The result meant the leaders' cushion over Spurs remained at four points - the same tally that separates the Red Devils from a Champions League berth after this weekend's games.
