Missed Opportunity: Nemanja Matic's Blunder Costs Chelsea

In a tightly contested match between Manchester United and Chelsea at Old Trafford, it is important to take advantage of the few opportunities to score. Midfielder Nemanja Matic of the 'blues' did not understand this and now must be regretting the mistake he made.

The Manchester United defense was poorly positioned during a counterattack by Chelsea. Nemanja Matic received a precise assist to be one-on-one with the 'red devils' goalkeeper, David De Gea. The midfielder from London had the first goal at his feet.

It is often said that the goal appears smaller when you are closer, Nemanja Matic can testify to this. The Chelsea player sent a powerful shot towards the Manchester United's goal. The Serbian hit it with such force that the ball went out of bounds.

Nemanja Matic squandered the most important goal-scoring opportunity for Chelsea against Manchester United. Many will justify the 'blue' player because he is not a striker. But in that type of situation, there is no room for forgiveness. The match ended goalless.
