Manchester United vs Chelsea

In today's match, Manchester United play long time English League rivals Chelsea. In this match, Manchester United defended dreadfully, as seen by the first goal that was scored by Chelsea, in the first thirty seconds of the match. Chris Smalling did not defend well at all, and left a man completely open after a turnover in play, and did an absolutely horrible job of marking space to recover, and it forced a goal. The second goal came from a Chelsea corner kick, and deflected off of a Manchester United player straight to a Chelsea player, who was left unmarked by non other than Chris Smalling. The third goal came from Eden Hazard, who was being marked by Smalling and had an easy shot to bend around the Man U defender. It could have been a simple block on Smalling's end, given he did not stick out the wrong foot to try to block it. The fourth goal came from a very skilled Chelsea midfielder, who dribbled into space left open by Smalling, and forced him to step after a fake shot, and then which lead to another goal. The match ended 4-0 Chelsea, and was a complete failure for the reds. Smalling is normally a very good defender, but the lad had a very poor performance today when the reds needed him most. Such is football.
