MANCHESTER UNITED scored late on to rescue a point at Stamford Bridge, with Casemiro equalizing after 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 home side took control of the game in the second half and unfortunately for Man United, Raphael Varane was injured 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 down Armando Broja in the box.
However, summer signing Casemiro came to the rescue and scored a powerful header in the 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

Varane could miss the World Cup.
Raphael Varane barely put a foot wrong in this game, until Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang got past him in the second half.
As the French ace stuck out his leg to make the tackle, his knee fell to the turf.
Varane then came forward as he collapsed in clear agony during the 1-1 draw in west London.
And the former Real Madrid man was visibly distressed as he was treated by United’s doctors, knowing the injury could rule him out of the World Cup.

Death, taxes and…
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 fighting for victory when Scott McTominay awarded a penalty after pulling down Armando Broja in the box.
Jorginho sent it in with confidence, and it looked like Chelsea had wrapped him up.
However, Casemiro and Manchester United had other ideas as the Brazilian sent a header just wide of the legs of the brilliant Kepa Arrizabalaga again.
It was typical of this game to end like this, and the last three games between United and Chelsea have already finished 1-1.
