Quite how Manchester United escaped with a point is difficult to explain although, as ever, Cristiano Ronaldo was a part of the answer. Him and David de Gea, whose defiance in goal has been a rare positive during a horrendous season for the club. Plus a Chelsea team who simply could not finish.
It was Ronaldo who pulled down a scooped ball from Nemanja Matic to drill home moments after Marcos Alonso had opened the scoring for Chelsea. Thomas Tuchel’s side, so erratic of late, could have been four goals up at the interval while they would blow further chances in the second half.
