Chelsea vs Man Utd LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction tonight as Casemiro header cancels out Jorginho penalty
The points were shared at Stamford Bridge after Casemiro’s stoppage time goal erased Jorginho’s penalty after Scott McTominay brought Armando Broja down
An injury-time equaliser from Casemiro earned Manchester United a point at Chelsea on Saturday in the Premier League battle for fourth place.
The Brazilian’s headed ball was pushed on to the post by Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa and it just crossed the line to make the score 1-1.
The two sides had been heading for a lively if disjointed goalless draw until an 87th-minute Jorginho penalty looked to have settled the match in Chelsea‘s favour.
The result keeps Chelsea in fourth place, a point ahead of United. The Manchester side and France’s World Cup squad will be concerned for Raphael Varane, who went over on his ankle midway through the second half and limped away looking distraught.
Chelsea 0-0 Man Utd
60 mins: Raphael Varane has gone down and looks in a bad way. He’s emotional as he limps around the side of the pitch to get back to the changing rooms after refusing a stretcher.
Victor Lindelof has replaced him for Man Utd and he’ll play the last 30 minutes of this game. Will that create an opening for Chelsea?
Chelsea 0-0 Man Utd
57 mins: Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is sent into space on the left side but United do well to force him wide and away from the box. Aubameyang gives it back to Kovacic who floats a cross over to Sterling inside the box and he tries to volley it over to Loftus-Cheek but miscues the ball and Luke Shaw manages to clear the danger.

48 mins: Fernandes attempts a long diagonal ball over to Antony and threads it through midfield to play the winger in behind. Kepa Arrizabalaga comes flying out of his area and gets to the ball first.
He remains calm and links up with Thiago Silva and Ben Chilwell to work the ball out from the back and beat the pressing of Antony.
Second half: Chelsea 0-0 Man Utd
Kick off: Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang gets the match restarted for Chelsea. No changes from either manager at the break with Kovacic for Cucurella the only swap to happen thus far.

Cristiano Ronaldo: Roy Keane claims Manchester United star has ‘had enough’ and ‘lost his head’
Roy Keane admits Cristiano has “had enough” and that he “lost his head” after walking down the tunnel before the end of Manchester United’s victory over Tottenham midweek.
Erik Ten Hag has banished Ronaldo to train with the Under-21s and left the legendary Portuguese out of the squad to face Chelsea on Saturday.
But Keane defended Ronaldo’s behaviour and even criticised Ten Hag, questioning the Dutch tactician’s wisdom behind attempting to send Ronaldo on with “two or three minutes to go”.
