MANCHESTER, England (AP) — Robert Sanchez and Casemiro were sent off in a wild first half between Manchester United and Chelsea, which also saw Cole Palmer injured and United race to a 2-0 lead in the Premier League on Saturday. In an incident-packed first period at Old Trafford, referee Peter Bankes played almost 10 minutes of added time. Chelsea goalkeeper Sanchez was sent off after just five minutes when shown a straight red card for bringing down Bryan Mbeumo when the United forward was running through on goal.
