Chelsea issue statement as Erik ten Hag condemns homophobic chants in Man Utd draw

The teams shared the spoils at Stamford Bridge, with Jorginho opening the scoring and Casemiro levelling things up in stoppage time. However, events were overshadowed by unsavoury chants from the stands, prompting an official response from the London club.
