Chelsea was the better team in the first half, with more possession of the ball, and they created more chances than their opposition. They could have increased their lead before the end, but David De Gea kept United in the game.

With the managerial job on the line, the stage was set for Jose Mourinho to produce another memorable comeback after the victory against Newcastle last time out. Anthony Martial visitors equalized for the visitors ten minutes into the second half.

Then United looked the better side, and they ensured all their efforts did not go waste when the Frenchman scored again to give United the lead.

It looked all set for Mourinho to grab another memorable victory against his former club till the last minute of the injury time which surely have broken the hearts of United fans when Ross Barkley put the ball into the back of the net from close range.
