As the players raced towards the erupting away after the ball crept over the line and then proceeded to throw themselves into the heaving mass of waving arms, pumping fists and falling bodies, a picture began to take shape.
Manchester United's performance and result against Chelsea may not have been quite as galvanising as the destruction of Tottenham a few days earlier but the jubilant celebrations of the late equaliser showed a team that is growing closer together, building a rapport with supporters and heading in a positive direction. There wasn't even a sullen Cristiano Ronaldo there to ruin it.
Casemiro celebrated his fantastic header with the sort of emotion with which you belt out 'Angels' as a wedding reception comes to a close. Several players embraced the supporter who had gotten closer to the celebrations by standing over seat covers but he got closer than he probably expected when Lisandro Martinez came out of nowhere to wrap his arms around him. Antony nearly went full-on into the crowd and every player was together.
