Chelsea, Manchester United set decade-long Premier League high in 4-3 thriller

Tonight's encounter saw Chelsea and United amass 47 shots between them, taking the tally to 88 in the two games between the sides this season.

In United's 2-1 win over Chelsea back in early December, the two managed 41, with Erik ten Hag's side dominant, registering an xG of 4.1 from 28 shots.
