However, the Blues’ keeper denied his shot easily and the match took a different road from that moment.Bringing on Manchester United loanee Sancho at half-time proved crucial. He delivered the crucial through-ball to set up Nkunku in the 86th minute for Chelsea’s first win of the season.ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE – MATCHDAY 4Saturday Southampton – Man Utd 0-3 (0-2)/De Ligt 33, Rashford 41, Garnacho 90+6/Man City – Brentford 2-1 (2-1)/Haaland 19, 32 – Wissa 1/Liverpool – Nott.
