United thrash Chelsea 4 1 to book Champions League spot

Manchester United secured their place in next season’s Champions League with a convincing 4-1 win over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

The visitors took an early lead through Casemiro’s header and doubled it before the break with Anthony Martial’s tap-in from Jadon Sancho’s pass.

Bruno Fernandes added a third from the penalty spot after the interval and Marcus Rashford scored his 30th goal of the season from close range. Joao Felix scored a late consolation for the hosts, who are 12th in the Premier League and have had a disappointing campaign.
