Casemiro spares Scott McTominay as Man Utd level late at Chelsea - 6 talking points

There was late, late drama at Stamford Bridge, as Casemiro scored a 95th-minute header to salvage a 1-1 draw for Manchester United against Chelsea.

Graham Potter and Erik ten Hag were locked in a tactical stalemate until United substitute Scott McTominay brought down Chelsea striker Armando Broja with four minutes of normal remaining. Jorginho dispatched the penalty in typically cool fashion and looked to have snatched all three points for the Blues.

But in the 95th minute, Casemiro emphatically met Luke Shaw's cross and beat the sprawling Kepa Arrizabalaga by millimetres to equalise after at the death. The main pre-match talking point was the absence of Cristiano Ronaldo, who'd been ruthlessly dropped by Ten Hag following his unwise decision to storm down the tunnel before full-time in midweek, and the sulking superstar was forced to watch the dramatic events unfold from home.
