Marc Cucurella once again came to the rescue for Chelsea by scoring a crucial goal in their 1-0 victory against Manchester United, keeping their Champions League hopes alive.
With 20 minutes left in the game, Chelsea were facing the possibility of missing out on a top-five finish, with their fate hanging in the balance due to missed opportunities and the pressure increasing after Aston Villa's earlier win.
Cucurella, who has been in excellent form for Chelsea, rose to the occasion by scoring with a header from Reece James' cross in the 71st minute, turning the situation in Chelsea's favor.
A win in their next game against Nottingham Forest will secure a top-five finish for Chelsea.
Chelsea dominated the first half against a struggling United side, but they were unable to capitalize on their chances, highlighting their season-long issue of wastefulness in front of goal.
The match saw moments of drama, including a VAR decision ruling out a goal for Harry Maguire and Chelsea finally breaking the deadlock with Cucurella's goal.
In the end, Chelsea held on for a crucial victory, with United failing to pose a serious threat in the second half.
