Keeping more clean sheets than Man Utd doesn't mean that they didn't have a defensive problem. Man Utd's style of football means that they score 3-4 goals in quite a few games and play quite offensively, Chelsea's style of play means that they score 1-2 goals and play rather defensively.
Having a goal scored against you when you're 3-0 up isn't that much of a problem. Having a goal scored against you when you're 1-0 up is a problem.
