Chelsea secured a late 1-1 draw against Manchester United with Moises Caicedo’s volley, taking them into the top four.
United initially led after Bruno Fernandes converted a penalty following a foul on Rasmus Hojlund.
The draw leaves United in 13th place, marking their worst start to a season since 1986-87.
In a tense showdown at Old Trafford, Manchester United and Chelsea battled to a 1-1 draw in a game marked by United’s ongoing struggles. A scoreless and disjointed first half gave way to a lively final 20 minutes, beginning with United taking the lead in the 70th minute. Chelsea goalkeeper Robert Sanchez conceded a penalty after colliding with Rasmus Hojlund in the box, and Bruno Fernandes converted with ease, putting United ahead.
But Chelsea refused to go quietly, with Moises Caicedo delivering a stunning equalizer. In the 85th minute, the Ecuadorian midfielder seized an opportunity on the edge of the box, firing a first-time volley into the bottom-left corner, silencing the Old Trafford crowd and securing a valuable point.
This result, the 27th Premier League draw between these two clubs, underscored United’s ongoing challenges. Sitting 13th with only 12 points from 10 matches, United’s season has started off worse than any campaign since 1986-87, with a meager nine goals so far. Hopes are now turning to potential managerial reinforcement from Ruben Amorim, who may bring much-needed change for a struggling Red Devils squad.
