Chelsea 1-1 Manchester United: 5 hits and flops as Casemiro late strike salvages point for Red Devils | Premier League 2022-23

Hit: Luke Shaw (Manchester United)

The left-back assisted Casemiro with a superb cross.

His position came under threat from new signing Tyrell Malacia's growing influence. However, Luke Shaw responded with a solid display last evening to make a case for himself.

The 27-year-old defended Chelsea's attacks well, making five interceptions, and didn't hesitate to stop Cesar Azpilicueta's run with a dangerous challenge that earned himself a booking.

Just minutes later, Shaw clipped in a wonderful cross at the far post for Casemiro to fire home a header that secured the Red Devils a last-gasp equaliser.

Flop: Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (Chelsea)

The striker failed to show up for his team.

Raheem Sterling was not the only Chelsea forward who had a stinker, as Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang also failed to test Manchester United.

The Gabonese international was at the receiving end of some good crosses but couldn't hit them on target, let alone finding the back of the net. He came agonizingly close in the first half when his shot beat David de Gea, but the ball rolled millimeters wide of the post.

Hit: Lisandro Martinez (Manchester United)

The Argentinian (left) was spectacular in defence.

Had it not been for Casemiro's late heroics, Lisandro Martinez would've easily been the name on everyone's lips. That's because the Argentine had a stormer at the heart of Manchester United's defence.

He worked superbly with Raphael Varane to hold off Chelsea's pressure, showing calmness and composure to make seven clearances and timing his tackles to perfection.

Martinez also played a key role in winning back possession, a fact exemplified by his six ground duels. To surmise, the former Ajax star was a class act in defence for the visitors.
