Cristiano Ronaldo rescued a point for Manchester United against Chelsea with his first ever Premier League goal against the Blues.
Marcos Alonso had opened the scoring for the visitors on the hour mark; firing a low effort past David de Gea after being found unmarked inside the United penalty area by a Kai Havertz cross.

Here are five talking points from the encounter at Old Trafford.
