Chelsea repeat peculiar feat from 35 years ago in frantic 4-3 win vs Manchester United

Chelsea repeat 35-year-old record with the staggering 4-3 victory against Manchester United

According to the BBC, Chelsea made history by equalling their own near-35-year-old top-flight record with a thrilling comeback victory over Manchester United at Stamford Bridge. The Blues secured a dramatic 4-3 win, with two goals scored in the final two minutes before the whistle blew.

After racing to a 2-0 lead, Chelsea found themselves trailing 3-2 early in the second half, courtesy of Alejandro Garnacho’s goals for United. However, Cole Palmer emerged as the hero with a remarkable hat-trick, including an incredible winner deep into stoppage time, sending the home crowd into a frenzy.

The scenes that followed were filled with euphoria, as players and fans alike celebrated wildly at the incredible turnaround. Despite the palpable tension in the stadium as time ticked away, Chelsea’s persistence ultimately paid off in the most dramatic fashion imaginable.

The record-breaking team

Record-breaking run by the Blues

Chelsea’s performance in the chaotic game marked a historic moment for the club. Despite conceding multiple goals for the sixth consecutive game, their remarkable ability to find the back of the net ensured a record-breaking performance.

The Blues became the first top-flight team since 1989 to both score and concede two or more goals in six straight games across all competitions. Remarkably, Chelsea had previously held this record, adding significance to their recent achievement.

Beyond breaking records, the victory also ended Chelsea’s 12-game winless streak against United in the Premier League, dating back to 2017. This roller-coaster match not only showcased the team’s resilience but also marked a significant milestone in their head-to-head history with Manchester United.

Chelsea would forever remember this win

The dramatic victory for the Blues was largely attributed to luck, as the team was not performing at their best on that day. Despite taking an early 2-0 lead, the match should have ideally ended there. However, the last-minute goals secured an unexpected win for Chelsea.
