After a thumping midweek cup win, Bruno Fernandes had set the hosts on course for Premier League victory from the penalty spot after Robert Sanchez felled Rasmus Hojlund in the box. But minutes later, Caicedo met a dropping ball sweetly on the volley to beat Andre Onana and square affairs, with neither side able to add to their tally in a 1-1 draw.
An at-times drab game will have encouraged incoming Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim to some degree, with interim boss Van Nistelrooy able to instil some defensive solidity against a threatening Chelsea attacking unit. Amorim will take charge at Old Trafford after the mid-November international break having been confirmed as Erik ten Hag’s permanent successor this week.

It’s Chelsea with the dangerous attacks as we approach the end of the 90. Mudryk makes his way into the area and cuts back inside, only for the ball to be put behind for a corner.
It goes short to James, and then diagonally back to Mudryk, who uses a clever backheel to feed in Palmer, but his cross is picked out by Onana. Chelsea come again but now Mudryk’s cross ends up in the gloves of the United ‘keeper.

Richard Jolly at Old Trafford:
“A quick exchange of goals. Bruno Fernandes’ goal was a reward for a better second-half performance from United, who have looked less open, and a punishment for Robert Sanchez, who conceded it in another moment to suggest that, despite all their spending, Chelsea still lack a top-class goalkeeper.
Moises Caicedo’s volley was sweetly struck, if surprising he scored in such a manner. Given Chelsea’s first-half superiority, they could feel it was the least they deserved.”

United have a great chance to counter as Amad lays it to Zirkzee, but the Dutchman trips under pressure from Caicedo. He lays it off to Amad, who ships it to Garnacho, but the chance goes begging.
Chelsea counter and Casemiro is booked as he concedes a free-kick o the right wing.

Better from United as Amad and Fernandes almost combine to send the latter into the box, but it’s cut out. The home side come again, but Chelsea win the throw as Garnacho closes down the clearance.

CLOSE!
Chelsea knock it forward to Jackson and de Ligt loses his footing to provide an opening. Jackson lays it back to Fernandez, who has the chance to chip over Onana, but he clips it over the bar!

GOAL! Chelsea are level!
Neto skips through a few challenges and does well to win a corner. It’s flung in and headed away as far as Caicedo, and he rifles a volley low and into the bottom corner!
