Hits and misses: Martinez sums up Man Utd disorder as Brighton dare to dream

Martinez's red card and penalty summed up Man Utd's dysfunction in their 2-0 loss at Chelsea, while Estevao impressed on his first PL start and Brighton's win over City sparks title talk.

Sky Sports' football writers analysed the Premier League weekend, with Manchester United's capitulation at Chelsea the standout story. Lisandro Martinez was sent off after two quick yellow cards — first for a foul on Morgan Rogers, then for raising an arm to Wesley Fofana's face in the box — and conceded a penalty in the process. The defender, making his first start since the Leeds draw, was also at fault for Chelsea's opening goal as Rogers glided through United's defence. Head coach Michael Carrick did not criticise Martinez publicly but acknowledged the double blow of the red card and penalty as a "big moment" that epitomised the club's wider dysfunction.

Chelsea's standout performer was 19-year-old Estevao, who made his first Premier League start and created a genuine impact with six shots, three chances created and 12 touches in the opposition box. Though he had a goal disallowed for offside, his display suggests he is becoming impossible to leave out of the team. Morgan Rogers scored a fine goal, but Estevao was the bigger threat and has established himself among Chelsea's untouchables under Xabi Alonso.

Elsewhere, Brighton's victory over Manchester City has sparked title talk around the Amex, while Nottingham Forest's latest loss left Oliver Glasner fuming.
