- Bruno Fernandes scores penalty
- Moises Caicedo super volley
- Marcus Rashford poor again
Manchester United drew 1-1 with Chelsea in the Premier League, as Moises Caicedo saves the Blues with a superb volley.
The first half created little highlights as the midfield battle controlled most of play. One of the closest moment’s came after 15 minutes when Chelsea’s Noni Madueke hit the post with a header from a corner. Manchester United would return the favour as Marcus Rashford hit the crossbar just before half time.
The game continued in the same fashion before Robert Sanchez took down Rasmus Hojlund in the box. Captain Bruno Fernandes stepped up, and coolly slotted home.
Chelsea looked out of it before Moises Caicedo hit a sweet volley from the edge of the box to level the game.
