However, there was talking point that got fans talking - and it involved United's South American pair.
Cameras caught Brazilian Casemiro screaming at Argentinian winger Garnacho.
The reason for the midfielder's reaction was very clear.
Former Real Madrid man Casemiro copped a booking for a late tackle, which he believed was Garnacho's fault.

Man Utd ratings vs Chelsea
MARTIN BLACKBURN gives his verdict on the Red Devils against Chelsea
Andre Onana - 5
Will be disappointed not to keep out Caicedo’s equaliser.
Almost put Casemiro in trouble with sloppy early pass too
Noussair Mazraoui - 6
Key interception to prevent Neto getting in on goal late on and tried to support Garnacho where possible
Matthijs de Ligt - 6
Good early block to deny Palmer.
Late slip under pressure from Jackson almost proved costly.
Lisandro Martinez - 6
Lucky not to concede a pen with clumsy challenge on Colwill and lucky to escape a red for x-rated late tackle on Palmer.
Diogo Dalot - 6
Poor tackle on Pedro Neto earned a deserved booking and had a real battle with his international team-mate.
Casemiro - 7
Made a difference with super ball to Hojlund in lead up to pen – but could he have got more distance on clearing header that was despatched by Moises Caicedo.
Manuel Ugarte - 6
Rugby tackle on Palmer but Uruguayan showed signs he is starting to settle in after big money summer move.
Alejandro Garnacho - 6
Always a threat but wasted some great chances.
Shot straight at Sanchez and shanked another effort after great work by Fernandes.
Bruno Fernandes - 8
Created United’s best two chances for Rashford and Garnacho and then kept his cool to score from the spot.
Marcus Rashford - 6
Hit the angle with volley on stroke of half-time and saw another shot saved by Sanchez.
Better from the England man.
Rasmus Hojlund - 6
Did not touch the ball in the Chelsea box first half but when he finally did he won the penalty.
Subs
Amad Diallo (73' for Rashford)
A couple of nice touches but not much impact.
Joshua Zirkzee ('84 for Hojlund)
A couple of nice touches but not much impact.
Victor Lindelof ('84 for Ugarte)
Thrown on to keep things tight and did that.
After a disappointing first half, it looked United had sneaked a win with a Bruno Fernandes penalty in the 70th minute.
However, they were pegged back just four minutes later when Moises Caicedo volleyed the past Andre Onana.
United are up to 13th in the league after earning a point.
