Moises Caicedo canceled out Bruno Fernandes' second-half penalty as Chelsea and Manchester United played out a 1-1 draw at Old Trafford.
Ruud Van Nistelrooy's first Premier League game in charge as interim boss was as difficult as they come, but after the 5-2 win against Leicester in midweek, there was some confidence flowing through the ranks.
Chelsea came into this on the back of a defeat to Newcastle in the EFL Cup and Enzo Maresca demanded a reaction.
There were few goalscoring opportunities for either side in the opening exchanges but the game sprung to life when Noni Madueke's close-range header struck the near post from a corner kick.
Alejandro Garnacho responded for the hosts, curling a tame effort straight at Robert Sánchez, before Rasmus Hojlund forced a save from the Blues goalkeeper.
.The final action of the first half saw Marcus Rashford’s side-foot a shot against the woodwork, with replays showing that was a much better chance than he perhaps realised.
No match-up has produced more draws in PL history, and with an hour gone, another stalemate was looking increasingly likely
However, Van Nistelrooy's men broke the deadlock with 20 minutes to play when Casemiro’s pass found Hojlund, who was fouled by Sanchez.
Referee Robert Jones had no choice but to point to the spot, and after the penalty decision was confirmed by VAR, Bruno Fernandes made no mistake from the spot.
However, that lead lasted just four minutes as a partially cleared corner dropped to Moisés Caicedo, who sent a venomous volley from the edge of the box through past Andre Onana.
Garnacho sent a late effort flashing past the post, but in the end, this was a fair result for both teams.
