The spoils shared doesn’t really help either team, with Chelsea remaining third, albeit now eight points clear in the race for the top four. Manchester United stay in sixth, but have played at least once more than all the sides around them, suggesting they could be set to drop further once their rivals catch up.
Reece James was head and shoulders above everyone else on the pitch in this game, and finished the match with a second assist for the opener, four shots, three key passes, three good crosses from 10 attempts, and led the way for the Blues in terms of touches, duels, successful duels, tackles, and fouls won. He was simply everywhere.
The second-half comes to an end, with United holding on to keep Chelsea at bay and share the points! Ronaldo’s equaliser a minute after Chelsea’s long-awaited opener did spark some life into the home side, but it was still the Blues who remained in control, but couldn’t find the net again, and head home from Old Trafford ruing two points dropped, rather than one gained!
