It was fitting that when the NBA play-offs are currently being played over in America, Todd Boehly's Chelsea participated in what at times seemed like a basketball game against Manchester United.
Man United actually had something to play for, so for them to not be a bit more cautious than they were on Thursday evening perhaps shows where Chelsea are right now. Erik ten Hag wasn't worried about the threat the Blues posed on the break. At times, it looked like he was wrong to think that but it ended up with the visitors scoring just once – and that was when Chelsea were already trailing 4-0.
Chelsea should've been 1-0 up within five minutes. Mykhailo Mudryk kind of summed up his time with the Blues so far by getting his shot all wrong after a fine pick-out from Lewis Hall.
