Man Utd dealt major top four blow as Chelsea eye Premier League turnaround after £213.7m spend

Fred then got himself on the scoresheet before Amadou Mbengue grabbed a late consolation goal for the Royals, who ended the game a man down following the dismissal of Andy Carrol.

Progress into the next round will come as great news for Erik ten Hag but he will certainly be worried about the extent of Eriksen's injury, with the Dane heading straight down the tunnel after his withdrawal, appearing in some discomfort.
