Moses in action as Chelsea lose away to Man Utd; Spurs win at Palace

Nigerian winger, Victor Moses played in a Chelsea side that blew a one-goal lead at Old Trafford on Sunday as Manchester United came from behind to win 2-1.

Willian started and finished a flowing move to give the Blues the lead in the 32nd minute but the hosts pulled level just 7 minutes later with a strike from Romelu Lukaku.

Lukaku then set up Lingard to head home with 15 minutes left, after which Chelsea’s Alvaro Morata had a goal incorrectly disallowed for offside.

Earlier on Sunday, England striker, Harry Kane spurred Tottenham Hotspur to a 1-0 win over Crystal Palace at Selhust Park.

After an uneventful first half, the game continued without a goal and was heading to a stalemate when Kane peeled away at the back post to head in Christian Eriksen’s 88th-minute corner.

The defeat leaves Chelsea in fifth place behind Spurs, while Palace stay on 17th, level on points with 18th-placed Swansea.
