Saturday’s game looked set to be the latest triumph for Graham Potter and perhaps the most significant of his eight-game Chelsea tenure, but Manchester United new signing Casemiro had something to say about that.
It was another fine display from Casemiro in midfield.
The former Real Madrid star is finally owning his place in the team and his late header was well deserved after a string of strong performances in a United shirt.
United had two crosses cleared by Chelsea at the very end, before the ball was recycled down the left flank again. Luke Shaw chipped the ball towards the far post as Casemiro jumped in front of teammate Scott McTominay to send the ball past the Chelsea keeper.

Kepa did his best between the sticks but he couldn’t stop the ball from crossing the line.
The official Manchester United Twitter account has shared a video of the goal from an alternative angle.
