EPL: Chelsea’s Champions League hopes suffer blow in 1-0 defeat to Man Utd
Chelsea’s hopes of qualifying for the Champions League took a huge blow on Saturday, following a 1-0 defeat to Manchester United.
The Blues came into the game hoping to avoid consecutive home losses after they were hammered 3-0 by Manchester City last Sunday.
Matheus Cunha’s first-time finish on the stroke of half-time proved to be enough for Michael Carrick’s side.
The result also sees the Red Devils solidify third place in the Premier League.

ADC crisis deepens as Binani-led bloc quits Adamawa chapter
Fresh cracks have emerged within the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Adamawa State, as a powerful bloc aligned with Senator Aishatu Dahiru Ahmed Binani announced a mass resignation from the party, citing what it described as a “total collapse of internal democracy.”
The decision, contained in a communiqué issued after a stakeholders’ meeting held at the residence of Hon. Mijiyewa Umaru Kugama, signals a major political realignment ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The group, drawn from the three senatorial zones of the state, accused the party leadership at both state and national levels of undermining democratic principles and imposing illegitimate structures.
“The actions of the party leadership have destroyed internal democracy, undermined the rule of law, and rendered the party structure in Adamawa State illegitimate and unacceptable,” the communiqué stated.
At the heart of the crisis are the recently concluded party congresses, which stakeholders claim were marred by manipulation and imposition under the leadership of Ishaya Bauka (retd).
According to the group, court rulings and existing injunctions were ignored, creating what they described as a “dangerous precedent of lawlessness.”
“The congresses were fundamentally flawed, manipulated, and imposed against the will of the majority of party members,” the stakeholders alleged.
They further accused party officials of sidelining key actors through “systematic exclusion, intimidation, and imposition,” arguing that the ADC has consequently lost its credibility as a democratic platform in the state.
In a series of far-reaching resolutions, the faction declared a vote of no confidence in the ADC leadership and announced its “immediate and irreversible resignation en masse” from the party.
The group also rejected all outcomes of the disputed congresses, declaring them “null and void.”
“We refuse to be part of a system that thrives on injustice, impunity, and illegality,” the communiqué read.
The stakeholders confirmed plans to align with a new political platform, although no party was officially named.
However, they mandated Senator Binani to spearhead the transition and coordinate a unified strategy ahead of the next electoral cycle.
Political observers say the development could significantly reshape the political landscape in Adamawa, particularly with Binani expected to remain a central figure in the 2027 governorship race.
The communiqué outlined plans for a coordinated defection structure spanning polling units, wards, and local government areas, alongside aggressive grassroots mobilisation under a new platform.
“This decision marks the beginning of a new political direction anchored on credibility, inclusiveness, and true democratic ideals,” the stakeholders concluded.
The crisis adds to growing tensions within opposition parties nationwide, with analysts warning that unresolved internal disputes could weaken party cohesion ahead of future elections.
