Victor Moses, Nigerian and Chelsea winger failed to take Chelsea to the promised land as they fell 2-0 to Manchester United at Old Trafford on Sunday.
Moses, who played from the left wing, was substituted with Cesc Fàbregas in the 59th minute.
United were excellent, sharp in the tackle and clever up front in the first forty-five minute while Chelsea struggled all through.
Chelsea mustered just one shot in the first half against the Red Devils, their lowest total in a Premier League first half this season.

Marcus Rashford was put through superbly by Ander Herrera and slotted a composed finish past Asmir Begovic as he left David Luiz in his wake for Manchester United first goal in the 7th minute.
Rashford’s free-kick was overhit, but Ashley Young retrieved it over the other side and drilled in a nasty low cross.
He drove into the box and was tackled by Kurt Zouma, who ended up stabbing the ball straight to Herrera.

He fired a first-time shot at goal that deflected off Zouma and beat the wrong footed Begovic to find the net for his first league goal of the season and United’s second goal in the 49th minute.
The premier league leaders now hold just a four-point advantage over Tottenham, while United could move to within a point of Manchester City if they win their game in hand.
