Unless something extremely unlikely happens in the next couple of weeks, this was Antonio Conte's farewell from Chelsea, and he said goodbye with a win and a trophy and, perhaps more significantly for him, with success against Jose Mourinho, a manager for whom he has scarcely hidden his contempt as they have exchanged barbs all season.
For Mourinho, defeat to a first-half Eden Hazard penalty, completed a season without a trophy. Perhaps circumstances off some mitigation, but for a manager who usually peaks in his second season at a club, there must be a degree of concern. Most worrying is that, yet again in a big game, United never really came close to hitting peak form.
