MANCHESTER: Moises Caicedo’s second-half strike cancelled out Bruno Fernandes’ penalty as Chelsea came from behind to draw 1-1 with Manchester United at Old Trafford.
It was Man United’s first Premier League game at home since manager Erik ten Hag was sacked.
Chelsea are currently fourth in the league on 18 points while United, coached temporarily by Ruud van Nistelrooy, are 13th on 12 points after 10 games.
United captain Fernandes completed the penalty kick in the 70th minute after Chelsea goalkeeper Robert Sanchez fouled Rasmus Hojlund while trying to catch the ball.
Sanchez failed to guess the direction of Fernandes’ kick and Nistelrooy jumped for joy in celebration of the goal.
But the home crowd’s joy was short-lived as Casemiro failed to clear a Chelsea corner, allowing Caicedo to fire past Andre Onana for the visitors’ equaliser.
Ten Hag was sacked on Monday as United sat 14th in the league. Ruben Amorim was appointed as his replacement last Friday and will arrive at the club on November 11.
