Chelsea 1-0 Man United - PLAYER RATINGS: Who is growing into a force? Which Blues star needs to do more? Who struggled to do anything of note for the Red Devils?

Chelsea took a major stride to securing Champions League football next season after a Marc Cucurella goal secured a 1-0 win over Manchester United.

The visitors looked to have stunned Stamford Bridge in the first half but saw a Harry Maguire effort ruled out for offside.

Chelsea saw a penalty overturned in the second half and frustrations grew as Ruben Amorim's strong selection ahead of the Europa League final looked to pay off.

Enzo Maresca's side finally made the breakthrough in the 71st minute, as a smart turn and cross from Reece James found Cucurella to head the Blues in front.
