Chelsea 1 Man Utd 1 LIVE REACTION: Casemiro header in dying moments RESCUES Red Devils point after Jorginho penalty | The Sun
MANCHESTER UNITED scored late on to rescue a point at Stamford Bridge, with Casemiro equalising following Jorginho's opener.
The Blues were dominated in the early stages, losing the midfield battle before Graham Potter made an early tactical change to replace Marc Cucurella with Mateo Kovacic.
The second-half saw the hosts take control of the game, and unfortunately for Man United, Raphael Varane was forced off with an injury – in tears as he left the pitch.
Chelsea thought they had won the game when Jorginho put them ahead from the spot in the 87th minute after substitute Scott McTominay dragged Armando Broja down in the box.
However, summer signing Casemiro came to the rescue and netted a powerful header in fourth minute of added time to rescue a point despite Kepa Arrizabalaga getting a strong hand on the ball to delay it crossing the line.

Sterling's barren run continues.
Raheem Sterling is a sensational footballer, there is no denying that.
But questions have to be asked about his record against Manchester United.
Having played against them 24 times after tonight's game, the England international has NEVER scored against the Red Devils.
For such a prolific Premier League goalscorer, this is a bizarre stat that Raheem will be hoping to put to bed in the return fixture.

Varane potentially missing the World Cup.
Raphael Varane hardly put a foot wrong in this game, until Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang went sprinting past him in the second half.
As the French ace stuck out his leg to make the tackle, his knee jarred into the turf.
Varane then face-planted as he collapsed in clear agony during the 1-1 draw in West London.
And the former Real Madrid man was visibly distraught as he was treated by United medics – knowing the injury could rule him out of the World Cup.

Death, taxes, and…
A 1-1 draw between Chelsea and Manchester United.
Well who saw that coming?
Oh yeah… Everyone.
The game was 0-0, and both teams were vying for the win when Scott McTominay gave away a penalty after pulling back Armando Broja in the box.
Jorginho dispatched it with confidence, and it looked like Chelsea had it wrapped up.
However, Casemiro and Manchester United had other ideas, as the Brazilian looped a header which just escaped the paws of Kepa Arrizabalaga, who was brilliant again.
It was typical of this fixture to end this way, and the last three games between United and Chelsea have now ended 1-1.
