Casemiro sends one-word message after scoring dramatic first Manchester United goal vs Chelsea

Casemiro took to social media to express what his first Manchester United goal meant to him, following his last-gasp equaliser against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Saturday evening.

Trailing 1-0 to Jorginho's 87th-minute penalty, United looked set to be condemned to their first Premier League defeat in four matches. However, deep into stoppage time, Casemiro rose highest inside the penalty area to meet Luke Shaw's centre and head the ball over the line, via the post and the outstretched hand of Kepa Arrizabalaga.

Shaw's cross looked set to be met by Scott McTominay, who had earlier committed a foul on Armando Broja to gift Chelsea a penalty. Casemiro, however, rose head and shoulders above everyone to direct a header towards goal, earning the Reds a valuable and fully deserved point.
