Ruben Loftus-Cheek has admitted he doesn't know how Casemiro produced the stunning header that earned Manchester United a point against his Chelsea side.
Chelsea welcomed United to Stamford Bridge on Saturday and the game looked set to finish goalless, until Scott McTominay suffered a lapse in concentration in the 85th minute when bringing Armando Broja down in the penalty area.
The hosts were awarded a penalty and Jorginho converted from the spot, which led Chelsea supporters to think their team had won the three points, but Casemiro sparked pandemonium in the away end with an injury-time header.

Such was the quality of the finish, Loftus-Cheek admitted after the game that he was surprised by the power Casemiro generated for the goal. "It was scrappy, both teams weren't clean on the ball," Loftus-Cheek told Chelsea's in-house media.
"It was just one of those games but I thought we had it [the win], we were defending well and then, to be honest, I don't know how Casemiro's got the power on that header to send it up and down. It feels like a defeat.
"We had to win the duels, both teams went toe to toe like that and sometimes it is what happens in these games. There's two sides to the game and you have to do both if you want to be a good team. We want to match any team that comes here.
"It was unlucky for us to concede in the last minute. But we're not losing, we're winning and we are drawing which is a good sign. We want to be solid as a team first, that's the foundation going forward. You want to be good defensively and then on top of that have a freedom and a flow to go and score goals and create. That's the next step."
