Hello and welcome to football.london for live coverage of Enzo Maresca's post-match press conference following Chelsea's 2-1 defeat against Manchester United.
A wet Old Trafford was the venue as the Blues slumped to their first defeat of the Premier League season. Almost immediately, the visitors had a disadvantage when Robert Sanchez was shown a straight red card for taking down Bryan Mbeumo, who had rounded the Spanish goalkeeper.
Not long after, Bruno Fernandes gave United a deserved lead. Later on in the first-half, the hosts took advantage of some poor defending from Chelsea, with Casemiro heading in from close range to punish them.
Casemiro, though, was shown a red card after picking up his second booking just before half-time, so the second period was contested with 10 against 10. Chelsea still struggled to create in the second period but did find a route back into the game when Trevoh Chalobah headed in a Reece James delivery.
It was not enough, though, with United coming out victorious. Maresca is due to speak to the media any moment now. Bobby Vincent is live in Manchester to bring you word-for-word updates from the Chelsea head coach.
