Chelsea v Manchester United - Story of the match

Morata, a United target last summer, found space to head in Cesar Azpilicueta's cross as Chelsea remained nine points behind Manchester City, who second-placed United now trail by eight.

Mourinho's United side have lost on all three visits to Stamford Bridge and the win gave Conte a welcome boost after the chastening loss at Roma.
