Manchester United’s Casemiro scored a 94th-minute header to deny Chelsea all three points in a dramatic finale at Stamford Bridge.
Jorginho’s penalty gave Chelsea the lead in the 87th minute; then Casemiro – who was excellent throughout – scored his first goal for Manchester United, sparking wild celebrations in front of the away end.

Defeat would have been harsh on United, but they got the reward their performance merited when Casemiro rose to meet Luke Shaw’s cross deep into six minutes of stoppage time, Chelsea keeper Kepa Arrizabalaga getting a touch but unable to stop the ball crossing the line.
United, with Cristiano Ronaldo left out of the squad as a disciplinary measure following his refusal to come on as a substitute in the win against Tottenham, had the better chances as they dominated the first half.
Erik ten Hag’s side were well on top and far more dangerous, Kepa saving well from Marcus Rashford and Antony, the latter also missing a great chance when clean through.
A draw is probably a fair result. United were much better in the first half, Chelsea dominated the second.
