In an electric Old Trafford showdown, the home side, Manchester United heavily dominated Chelsea on the pitch with a decisive 4-1 victory. A statistical analysis of the game clearly shows the superiority of Manchester United in terms of goals, shots on target and aggression.

United's goal-scoring prowess was displayed in a masterclass of attacking football with goals coming from four different players, namely Casemiro, Anthony Martial, Bruno Fernandes, and Marcus Rashford, with assists provided by Christian Eriksen and Jadon Sancho highlighting the well-distributed attacking potential in the team. In terms of assists, Eriksen and Sancho's contributions were crucial to two of United's goals dictating the pace of the team's attacking prowess.

When adding the sum of shots on and off target, United clearly outperformed Chelsea offensively. The hosts targeted the goal 18 times in total as opposed to Chelsea's 14 attempts. Furthermore, United's impressive 50% accuracy on target (9 shots on target) served as a testament to their superior offensive strategy and finishing capabilities.

United handled the game quite aggressively, committing twice the number of fouls Chelsea did (12 compared to 6) but this didn't result in higher repercussions as both teams finished with a single yellow card each, and no dismissals.

Chelsea, although less threatening offensively, appeared to have an edge in exploiting set-piece opportunities, earning one more corner kick than the home side. However, they failed to convert these into goals except for Joao Felix's consolation goal in the second half assisted by Hakim Ziyech.

It's also noteworthy that Bruno Fernandes' goal came from the penalty spot, suggesting that beyond open play, United was also able to capitalize on sharp and critical in-box movements forcing the opposition into making errors.

In conclusion, this match demonstrated United's offensive superiority and aggressive game style, which evidently overwhelmed Chelsea. Their balanced attack, with different players chipping in with goals, high shot accuracy, and ability to provoke and capitalize on defensive errors made the difference on this occasion on their road to glory. They'll need to control their aggressive play to prevent more significant repercussions in future games. Chelsea will have to work on their defense, especially against set-pieces, and improve their finishing if they hope to compete against such high-caliber sides like Manchester United.
