Premier League Action: United and Chelsea Secure Narrow VictoriesPremier League Action: United and Chelsea Secure Narrow Victories Manchester United and Chelsea emerged victorious from their respective Premier League matches on Saturday, as both sides secured narrow 1-0 wins. Manchester United 1-0 Crystal Palace Marcus Rashford’s second-half penalty proved to be the difference at Old Trafford as Manchester United overcame Crystal Palace. The home side dominated possession and created numerous chances, but they were frustrated by a resilient Palace defense for much of the game. A breakthrough came in the 65th minute when Will Hughes handled the ball in the box. Rashford stepped up to convert the spot-kick and seal the victory for United. The goal was Rashford’s 10th in all competitions this season. Chelsea 1-0 Everton Chelsea also had to dig deep to secure their victory against a well-organized Everton side at Stamford Bridge. The Blues struggled to create clear-cut opportunities and were largely frustrated by the Toffees’ defensive block. However, Chelsea eventually found the breakthrough in the 70th minute. Substitute Mason Mount played a low cross into the box, and Joao Felix was on hand to finish from close range. It was Felix’s first goal for Chelsea since joining the club on loan from Atletico Madrid in January.
