Moises Caicedo denied Ruud van Nistelrooy a first Premier League win as Manchester United’s interim head coach as the midfielder’s goal earned Chelsea a 1-1 draw at Old Trafford.
Following a first half that lacked quality, the Theatre of Dreams burst into life when Robert Sanchez hauled down Rasmus Hojlund inside the penalty area on 70 minutes.
Bruno Fernandes, so often United’s main man under former boss Erik ten Hag, stepped up and sent the Chelsea goalkeeper the wrong way to put the hosts on course for a much-needed victory.
But Man Utd’s joy was short-lived thanks to a bolt from Chelsea blue, courtesy of the right foot of Caicedo, who sent a first-time volley into the bottom-left corner.
The draw saw Chelsea edge past Arsenal and into the top four, while Man Utd – who on Friday confirmed the appointment of Ruben Amorim – moved up one place to 13th.
