Willian opened the scoring for the Chelsea against Manchester United at Old Trafford on Sunday, but the scores were level by the break through Romelu Lukaku.

Jesse Lingard, who came on as a substitute in the second-half put United ahead with 15 minutes remaining.

With Chelsea seeking for an equaliser, Jose Mourinho brought on Eric Bailly to contain Chelsea’s attack and the United boss gave some tactical instructions for the centre-back to pass on to Matic in a piece of paper.

Cunning Willian then approached his former Chelsea teammate and attempted to read Mourinho’s little note but Matic ran away with the paper in his hands.
