The Premier League's UEFA Europa League qualification has been finalized, and Manchester United's 4-1 thrashing of Chelsea in the early hours of Friday morning (26th) has locked up the top 4 positions in the league before the Sakhalin War, and returned to the UEFA Europa League battlefield after an absence of one year. However, United also paid a price in the match, as Brazilian winger Anthony Mafiosi suffered an ankle injury in the first half and had to be carried off on a stretcher, and will probably miss the EFL Cup final next week.
Manchester United needed a point to secure a UEFA Europa League spot, and in the 6th minute, Casimiru opened the first record with a header. Chelsea had a few more attacks after that, but their grasp was still poor. Anthony was kicked in the 29th minute, suspected to have suffered ankle injuries with a painful expression, and was finally carried away on a stretcher after being treated by a medic. Just before half time, Anthony Madill received a pass from Chaton Sinzou, and scored easily at the entrance of Longmen's goal.
After the change of sides continued to attack, 73 minutes Bono Fernandes was Wesley Coffinna hooked inside the penalty area, he personally manipulated 12-yard shot to make it 3-0, Wesley Coffinna 5 minutes later and then a suicide cross was intercepted, Lashoufoort lived up to his promise to scored a fourth goal, Chelsea 1 minute before the end of the game by Zuofelix broke the egg, United is still a big win 4-1 to complete the task.
Manchester United's team leader, Mr. Tannhäuser, said after the game: "Mr. Wenger said that being in the top 4 is like winning a cup, and that's true in the EPL because it's so difficult to get into the top 4. Man Utd are in the UEFA Europa League and it's not easy to face so much competition in the EPL, so it's very important to be in the top 4. Manchester United are still not where we want them to be, but getting back to the UEFA is definitely a very important step.
