Match summary

Chelsea had to settle for a point against Manchester United in a match we had chances to win, but were required to fight back from a goal down in the second half.

It was as dominant a first-half performance as you could want from the Blues, with United heavily indebted to goalkeeper David De Gea for keeping them in contention until half-time, as the Spaniard produced a string of saves to deny Hakim Ziyech, Callum Hudson-Odoi and Reece James, but saved the best to get the faintest of touches to send a rasping Antonio Rudiger shot onto the crossbar.

After the break, completely against the run of play, a rare heavy touch from Jorginho was punished harshly when Jadon Sancho raced clear to give the visitors the lead, briefly swinging momentum in their favour, but we were back in control well before Aaron Wan-Bissaka fouled Thiago Silva in the box and allowed Jorginho to make amends by calmly equalising from the penalty spot.

There were chances for Timo Werner and Rudiger to take all three points, which would have been a result Man Utd could have little complaint about, as they received a flurry of late bookings for wasting time, but a Chelsea victory was not to be from this one-sided encounter.
