Highlights
- Casemiro equalised in the 94th minute for Manchester United
- Jorginho had given the lead to Chelsea in the 87th minute
- Both Chelse and United now occupy a top four spot
Manchester United needed a late rescue act against Chelsea after they grabbed an equaliser in the 94th minute. The Red Devils who were trailing through the late Jorginho penalty continued their unbeaten run against Chelsea which now extends to 10 matches. It was back to the drawing boards for Chelsea who are still unbeaten under Graham Potter but will now need to brace themselves having dropped points in back-to-back matches.
Casemiro earned Manchester United a stoppage-time point at Chelsea as a captivating tactical battle between Erik ten Hag and Graham Potter ended 1-1 at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea looked to have snatched all three points when Jorginho coolly tucked away an 86th-minute penalty after substitute Scott McTominay mindlessly hauled Armando Broja to ground in the area.
But, in the fourth minute of time added on, Casemiro capped an impressive individual display as his header was clawed onto the post by Kepa Arrizabalaga and just about crossed the goal line after coming down off the post.
Cristiano Ronaldo's absence was felt as United dominated the opening half hour by failed to score. Their grip on the game loosened before the break as an inspired tactical change from Potter, the introduction of Mateo Kovacic and switch to a back four, breathed life into Chelsea.
