MANCHESTER UNITED DREW 1-1 WITH CHELSEA – Chelsea are 4th in the table on 18 points while United are 13th on 12 points
Moises Caicedo’s blistering second-half strike cancelled out a Bruno Fernandes penalty as Chelsea salvaged a 1-1 draw with Manchester United, spoiling United’s celebrations in their first Premier League game since manager Erik ten Hag was sacked. Chelsea are fourth in the table on 18 points while United, who had interim manager Ruud van Nistelrooy in the dugout, are 13th on 12 points after 10 games.
The United captain scored from the spot in the 70th minute after Chelsea goalkeeper Robert Sanchez caught Rasmus Hojlund’s foot when diving for the ball. Fernandes sent Sanchez the wrong way, prompting a delighted Van Nistelrooy to leap in the air in celebration.
United briefly looked poised for their second league win in six outings but the mood in Old Trafford swiftly shifted four minutes later when Casemiro failed to fully clear Chelsea’s corner, leaving Caicedo to fire a low volley that Andre Onana managed to just get a hand on, though he could not stop it sailing into the bottom corner.
