Manchester United were held to a 1-1 draw with Chelsea on Sunday afternoon despite taking the lead through Jadon Sancho’s goal. 

The England international capitalised on Jorginho’s error to score his second goal in a week, before the Italian atoned for his error by scoring a penalty.

CHELSEA 

EDOUARD MENDY – 6 

Did he touch the ball with his hands? Exposed for the goal and poor kick almost gave away a second.

TREVOH CHALOBAH – 7 

Cruised through the first half but had his hands full with Rashford in the second.

THIAGO SILVA – 7

Solid at the back and made the most of Wan-Bissaka’s challenge to ensure his team won a penalty.

ANTONIO RUDIGER – 6.5

Missed glaring late chance having rattled the bar from 25 yards in the first half.

REECE JAMES – 6.5

Posed a threat from both flanks after switching, but quiet by his high standards.

RUBEN LOFTUS-CHEEK – 6.5

In for the injured Kante. Decent shift in midfield but headed late chance over.

JORGINHO – 6

His mis-control handed United the lead, and will be hugely relieved to equalise from the spot.

MARCOS ALONSO – 6.5

Never stopped running and no surprise he tired on his first league outing for two months.

HAKIM ZIYECH – 6

A real handful for United but couldn’t make the most of a handful of half chances.

TIMO WERNER – 5

Had to wait nearly an hour for the first of two clear opportunities but failed to convert either.

CALLUM HUDSON-ODOI – 7

Chelsea’s two best chances of the first half fell to him, but he couldn’t beat De Gea.

MANCHESTER UNITED   

DAVID DE GEA – 7

Only beaten from the spot following his saves from Ziyech and Hudson-Odoi.

AARON WAN-BISSAKA – 5.5

Conceded penalty with careless challenge but made a vital interception to deny Werner.

ERIC BAILLY – 6.5

In for Maguire, got turned by Ziyech early on but gave away very little after that.

VICTOR LINDELOF – 6.5

It wasn’t pretty or easy, but he led the defensive effort as United hung on.

ALEX TELLES – 5.5

Struggled to stop a steady supply of crosses from the United, and rarely got forward.

SCOTT McTOMINAY – 7.5

Drove United on with his energy, even after he was booked just before half-time.

NEMANJA MATIC – 6.5

The extra defensive midfielder and a calming influence when United were being overrun.

FRED – 6

Worked tirelessly but guilty of poor attempt at a chip when handed a chance late on.

BRUNO FERNANDES – 5

Can’t fault his spirit but another hit and miss performance from the Portuguese.

JADON SANCHO – 7

Took his second goal in two games really well. United career finally taking off.

Couldn’t make an impact in the first half but transformed after the interval.
