  "account": "Chelsea capitalized on Manchester United's second-half struggles to secure a third consecutive loss and intensify pressure on Michael Carrick. The visitors now have no wins in nine games across all competitions, their longest such streak since October-November 1988. United's fourth Premier League defeat of the season leaves them 16th, one point shy of the relegation zone, with under-fire manager Carrick's position becoming increasingly precarious just days after he was given an opportunity to turn things around following a poor start to the campaign. After a promising first-half display, United allowed Morgan Rogers to go unchallenged through the heart of the defense to score the opening goal for Chelsea five minutes after the break. Cole Palmer added a second for Chelsea 14 minutes later with a penalty awarded after VAR spotted Lisandro Martinez, who was not looking at the ball, committing a second yellow card foul on Wesley Fofana. The match appeared to be over as a contest after Palmer made it 2-0 for the hosts with a penalty conversion. The away side nearly suffered a fourth goal as Chelsea winger Estevao, given his first league start of the season by Xabi Alonso, fired in a third only for it to be ruled out for an offside infringement.",
