Lisandro Martinez pointed the finger at technical director Jason Wilcox and the club hierarchy following an Atletico Madrid loss, but was sent off against Chelsea for raising his arm to Wesley Fofana's face, gifting a penalty. Starting his first game since the Leeds draw, Martinez was also at fault for Chelsea's opener as Morgan Rogers glided through United's defence. Michael Carrick did not criticise Martinez despite the sending off, calling the double whammy a "big moment" that summed up the dysfunction at the club.
Meanwhile, Chelsea's Estevao seized his first Premier League start, recording six shots and three chances created before a goal was disallowed for offside. Reports suggest European clubs are watching the teenager, but Xabi Alonso insists he is among the club's untouchables.
