Jorginho had looked like giving Graham Potter his first standout win against a major team in the league when converting an 87th-minute penalty.

But Casemiro rose to head past Kepa Arrizabalaga and earn United a deserved point.

The visitors arrived at Stamford Bridge on the back of its most complete performance of the season in the 2-0 win against Tottenham in midweek. And United had the best of the chances in the first half, with Marcus Rashford again failing to make the most of his opportunities in front of goal and Antony missing when one-on-one with Kepa.

With Cristiano Ronaldo cut from Ten Hag바카라s squad after the Portugal striker refused to come on as a substitute against Spurs, United looked in danger of paying the price for its failure to capitalize on its dominance.

Even more so when Scott McTominay brought down Armando Broja in the box late on.

Jorginho stepped up and converted from the spot.

Victory would have seen fourth-place Chelsea move four points clear of United but Casemiro ensured late drama.

Rising at the far post to meet Shaw바카라s cross in the fourth minute of stoppage time, Kepa got a hand to the Brazilian바카라s header, but could only touch it onto the post before the ball crossed the line.

바카라First half Rashford had two big chances, Antony one against one,바카라 Ten Hag told BBC Sport. 바카라You have to score goals in such moments because in top games three chances is massive. You have to score.

바카라We dictated the game and I am happy with that. If you concede a goal late it is difficult.바카라

Chelsea manager Graham Potter is still undefeated since succeeding Thomas Tuchel last month.

바카라It바카라s disappointing because we바카라re 1-0 ahead at the end, but over the course of the game a point is about right and I바카라m not sure if we did enough to win it,바카라 Potter told Sky Sports. 바카라A really fighting performance from us, we improved a lot after 30 minutes so we will take what we get.바카라

United had a scare when Raphael Varane had to leave the field after 60 minutes with an apparent knee injury.

The France international was in tears as he departed, raising concerns over his participation in the World Cup.
