Chelsea v Manchester United player ratings: Sterling 5, Aubameyang 4; Casemiro 8, Sancho 5

Premier League match at Stamford Bridge ends 1-1 after Brazilian midfielder's late header

CHELSEA PLAYER RATINGS: Kepa Arrizabalaga – 7. By far the busier of the two goalkeepers. Did well to thwart Rashford in a one-on-one, then plunged to his right to fend away the striker’s fierce shot. Enjoyed a quieter second half but was finally beaten – just – by Casemiro’s fabulous late header. Getty

Trevoh Chalobah – 8. Struggled early on with Sancho’s movement but grew into the game. Emerged for the second half in more proactive mood and made Rashford aware of his presence. Made a superb interception to stop Rashford going clean through, then headed against the United bar. AFP

Thiago Silva – 7. Typically dominant in the air, repelling anything United lobbed forward. Not as comfortable on the ground, however, and was fortunate to see compatriot Antony blaze off-target late in the first period. For the most part, read the game as well as ever. AFP

Marc Cucurella – 5. Sacrificed early on by Graham Potter, who could see that his side was being overrun by United’s midfield play. Prior to his departure, the Spaniard had been tidy enough but was just a victim of systemic failings. Reuters

Cesar Azpilicueta – 7. Took an early knock from Sancho but remained unaffected. Shackled Sancho well but had a different kind of challenge after United’s reshuffle when Fernandes moved to his side, followed late on by Elanga. Also had to deal with Luke Shaw’s energetic surges. AFP

Ruben-Loftus Cheek – 5. Anonymous in the first half but tried one long-range effort early in the second period which was deflected over, then made a superb run into space shortly before the hour, only for Sterling to bungle the pull-back. Hooked late on. AFP

Jorginho – 7. Outfought and out-thought as United bossed the midfield battle in the first period. Looked far more comfortable and influential after Kovacic’s introduction and moved Chelsea ahead with a calmly taken penalty in the last five minutes. Cynical late foul on Elanga brought a booking. Getty

Ben Chilwell – 6. Had to constantly be on his toes as United looked to release the quicksilver Antony. Great cross for Aubameyang in the late stages of the first half which deserved a better finish. Always a menace from set-pieces and a willing runner on the overlap. Getty

Mason Mount – 5. Struggled on the periphery of the game throughout. Constantly tried to play his way into it through endless running but cut a frustrated figure and became embroiled in niggly exchanges with various opponents. AFP

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang – 4. Began to get proper service after Chelsea’s tactical reshuffle, but fluffed two openings by making bad decisions and found himself marked out of the game until his late replacement by Pulisic. PA

Raheem Sterling – 5. A very quiet first half, but showed his dormant threat when he found space in the box just before half-time. Might have shot but instead passed and Aubameyang was unable to convert. Still to net a career goal against United with any of his clubs. Getty

SUBS: Mateo Kovacic (Marc Cucarella 36’) – 6. Introduced to gain Chelsea a foothold in midfield and did just that. His energy and diligence slowed United’s play and lifted the home support. AFP

Christian Pulisic (Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang 74’) – 6. Offered a different kind of threat in the late stages. Looked lively and confident. AFP

Armando Broja (Raheem Sterling 79’) – 6. Limited time but had one direct run at Martinez which ended with the Argentinian defender on top, then won a late penalty after tangling with McTominay. AFP

Carney Chukwuemeka (Loftus-Cheek, 79) – 6. Made an important contribution by hindering Casemiro on a forward surge, then lent his own support by leading the attack which ultimately spawned Chelsea’s winner. AP

MANCHESTER UNITED PLAYER RATINGS: David De Gea – 6. Little to do in the first half when United had possession but not enough progression. And little to do for much of the second until a Chelsea penalty sent him the wrong way. Doesn’t save penalties. EPA

Diogo Dalot – 7. Fast and aggressive down the right. Put Aubameyang off in Chelsea’s only genuine first half attack. Strong against Mount. Passing could be at fault in second half. Reuters

Lisandro Martinez – 7. Assured and up for it. A diving header turned one first half defence into an attack. Booked after the celebrations in a thrilling finish. Reuters

Raphael Varane – 7. Stretched to snuff out a Chelsea attack on 13. Over stretched as he attempted to get near Aubameyang after 56 and went off as a result. Looked devastated as he went off after a period of being on the ground. Played well. Again. AP

Luke Shaw – 7. Lively start. Shot wide after eight, set up Antony’s shot on 11. Got into space on the left to support his teammates and provided the cross for the winner. Playing well. One of three United players booked in the last 10 minutes. AFP

Casemiro – 8. So involved and influential that Chelsea switched their tactics to try and stop him. Less influential in a more negative second period where Chelsea improved marginally. The first United player for years who can control and manage a game. Scored a superb equaliser in time added on. Man of the match. AFP

Christian Eriksen – 7. Composed. Integral to United’s first half dominance as the Reds took the game to Chelsea. Lost the ball more at the start of the second half. Subbed, but another solid performance. Getty

Antony – 6. Good left foot shot was saved after 12. Booked for going in late on Jorginho. Sliced a shot with his weaker right foot after 45 minutes. United, overall, were poor in front of goal. AFP

Bruno Fernandes – 6. Set up Antony with a big chance on 45. Gave the ball away a couple of times at the start of the second half. Moaned so much that that his manager told him to wind it in. Moved to the left and was less effective. Getty

Jadon Sancho – 5. Dangerous ball into the box on 13. Shot on target on 33. Lost the ball which led to a late first half Chelsea attack. Cursed himself before coming off after he gave the ball away. Isn’t doing enough. AFP

Marcus Rashford – 7. Got in behind Chelsea’s defence in the first half with two decent chances, the second right-footed shot on target on 33. Needs more goals. AFP

Fred (Sancho 52’) – 5. Spun a shot/cross wide after 61 when Shaw opened up space to his left. A star on Wednesday against Spurs, he wasn’t against Chelsea. Didn’t have the same level of concentration and caused errors which led to Chelsea winning possession and attacking. Booked for moaning after penalty was conceded. Reuters

Victor Lindelof (Varane 59’) – 6. Blocked a ball from Sterling immediately after coming on. PA

Scott McTominay (Eriksen 80’) – 5. On for a more defensive midfield, though one of the first things he did was win the ball high upfield. Gave a penalty away with a grab on Broja that could have been so costly. Reuters

Anthony Elanga (Rashford 80’) – 6. Brought down in a yellow card challenge after he’d lost Jorginho. Lively. PA

Casemiro scored his first goal for Manchester United in the fourth minute of injury time to grab a point against Chelsea on Saturday in a lively if scrappy 1-1 Premier League draw.

The midfielder, newly signed from Real Madrid, headed the ball fiercely just wide of Kepa Arrizabalaga and the Chelsea keeper could only palm it on to the post where it just crossed the line.

The two sides, battling for fourth place in the league, had been heading for a goalless draw until an 87th-minute Jorginho penalty looked to have settled the match in Chelsea's favour.

The Italy midfielder slotted calmly home after substitute Scott McTominay, defending a corner, manhandled Chelsea substitute Armando Broja to the ground.

The result keeps Chelsea, who had kept five clean sheets going into the match, in fourth place, a point ahead of their rivals.

United controlled much of the early exchanges, dominating the midfield and creating chances for Marcus Rashford and Antony, who forced Arrizabalaga into a fingertip save in the 13th minute and put a shot wide just before halftime with only the keeper to beat.

Chelsea manager Graham Potter brought on Mateo Kovacic to reinforce the middle before the break and the change earned the home side greater possession in the second half and a series of near chances for striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

But their best opportunity before the penalty was a strike from defender Trevoh Chalobah whose 72nd-minute header hit the bar.

United and France's World Cup squad will be concerned for defender Raphael Varane, who went over on his ankle midway through the second half and limped away looking distraught.
