Tuchel: "In our performance we must stop Manchester United performing"

Chelsea remained atop the Premier League on Sunday by coming from behind to draw 1-1 with Manchester United at Stamford Bridge.

Following Man City’s home victory over West Ham earlier in the day, Chelsea were ahead of the defending champions only on goal difference, but they edged a point ahead of City thanks to Jorginho’s equaliser from the penalty spot here. After a goalless first half, Jadon Sancho had given United the lead with his first Premier League goal, calmly slotting home after pouncing on an error by Jorginho. But the Italy midfielder made amends later in the second half, sending David de Gea the wrong way from the spot after Aaron Wan-Bissaka had fouled Thiago Silva in the box.

Cristiano Ronaldo, controversially dropped by caretaker United coach Michael Carrick, replaced a hobbling Sancho later in the game, but he could not provide the spark to make it back-to-back wins under his former teammate – with United waiting for Ralf Rangnick to arrive as their new interim manager. The Red Devils moved back up to eighth in the Premier League with the result, and they will look to push on once Rangnick takes his place in the Old Trafford dugout.

Follow all the fallout and post-match reaction from Chelsea vs Manchester United below:

Chelsea 1 - 1 Man Utd

90+5 mins: Chelsea defend the corner and win a free kick deep in their own half. A long ball is won by Matic who heads the ball up to Fred. Fred is clipped by Jorginho just inside Chelsea’s half and he goes in the book as well.

We’re into the added time of stoppage time.

90+2 mins: Cristiano Ronaldo is shown a yellow card for dissent as the referee tries to restart the game. Jesse Lingard sends Ronaldo away down the left wing. Ronaldo is clearly offside as he collects the ball and drives into the box. He cuts back onto his right foot but gets tackled and Man Utd are awarded a corner.

Thomas Tuchel is fuming over the decision. He gives Anthony Taylor an earful and the referee pulls out a yellow card for the Chelsea manager.

Chelsea 1 - 1 Man Utd

90 mins: Donny van de Beek comes on in place of Bruno Fernandes.

Scott McTominay blocks a shot and takes the full force of the ball in the face. That one has to hurt. He gets a bit of treatment from the physios. There’s going to be five minutes of added time to play.

87 mins: Lingard runs the ball away after a Chelsea corner but he can’t take it around James. James passes it back to Mendy who makes a mistake and kicks the ball out to Fred. Fred brings the ball to the front of the box with Lingard screaming for him to pas it. Instead he tries to chip it over Mendy and just ends up giving it back to the goalkeeper. Wasteful.

84 mins: Ziyech curls a corner into the middle of the United box and picks out Loftus-Cheek. He misses his header but the ball hits his shoulder and goes wide of the goal.

Chelsea are the ones pushing for a winning goal, United clinging on to a point.

Romelu Lukaku is about to be introduced.

78 mins: Bruno Fernandes attempts to get a breakaway going but knocks the ball too close to Thiago Silva. He tries to get to it first and slides into a challenge taking out the Chelsea defender. Fernandes gets booked.

Mason Mount and Christian Pulisic are brought on by Thomas Tuchel, Marcos Alonso and Callum Hudson-Odoi are the men replaced.

Lingard is also on for Rashford.

75 mins: Fred kicks Manchester United into a counter-attack and wins the visitors a corner that Chelsea deal with without too much trouble. Jesse Lingard is getting ready to come on.

15 minutes to play and this one is wide open. Who’s going take the three points?

72 mins: Loftus-Cheek blasts one from just outside the box and has his effort blocked by the United defence. He gets the ball back and dinks it out to Hudson-Odoi. The cross comes in from the left and James heads it down to Ziyech who boots a shot high and wide!
