Felix's Late Consolation Goal Fails to Mar United's Triumph
Manchester United secured their place in the Champions League with a convincing 4-1 victory over Chelsea at Old Trafford.

Bruno Fernandes added a third goal in the second half, and Marcus Rashford sealed the win with a late strike.
Joao Felix netted a consolation goal for Chelsea in the dying moments, but it was too little too late for the visitors. The result means that United have now won three consecutive league games against Chelsea for the first time since September 1965.
