Moises Caicedo shone for the Blues as it looks like he's justifying his £100m price tag, but it was poor from an 'awful' French star hooked early.

Martin Blackburn's review from Old Trafford:
American singer Olivia Rodrigo was among the crowd at Old Trafford but it was a case of ‘Déjà vu’ as United once again failed to hang onto their lead.
Rodrigo has declared her affection for Chelsea in the past and the improving Blues will be happy enough with a point – earned thanks to their best player Caicedo.
"It was a case of ‘Déjà vu’ as United once again failed to hang onto their lead."

THE MAN in the technical area might have changed but Manchester United’s inability to hold onto a lead continues.
Ahead from Bruno Fernandes' penalty on 70 minutes, it took just four more before Chelsea were level through Moises Caicedo.
The fact honours were even was probably about right
Where United are at the minute it seemed like a decent result for interim boss Ruud van Nistelrooy who saw no lack of effort from his players.
'Tried hard but must do better', the report card will say, which you might say is a step up from Erik ten Hag’s final games...

A good point for Chelsea, not so much for Man Utd
Chelsea fans will feel pleased overall with a point from that game away at Old Trafford.
That point sees them move up to fourth in the table, just behind Nottingham Forest in 3rd.
If Moises Caicedo's stunning volley hadn't levelled things up, they would currently be sitting in 7th.
As for Manchester United, you have to scroll all the way down to 13th to find where they lay in the league.
