Manchester United rallied to earn a point in their 1-1 draw with Chelsea on Saturday, and Casemiro scored his first goal for the club after coming off the bench. His looping header over Kepa Arrizabalaga sealed a share of the spoils in this Premier League battle for fourth place.

1st minute

Manchester United were on course for a dramatic defeat at Stamford Bridge when Brazil international Casemiro scored an equaliser. Trailing 1-0 to Jorginho’s last-gasp penalty, the Red Devils were forced into stoppage time and Casemiro rose highest in the box to loop a header over Kepa Arrizabalaga and in off the post!

Chelsea had several good chances in the opening half, but United appeared more assured. They launched several dangerous counter-attacks and it is a credit to Erik ten Hag’s players that Chelsea couldn’t capitalize on those opportunities.

United have been lacking a physical presence over the last couple of seasons, but Ten Hag has been able to add some much-needed physicality with Casemiro, Antony and Lisandro Martinez joining him. These additions have all had an impact on games against teams like Chelsea.

57th minute

Casemiro scored a stunning header in the 57th minute to put United 1-0 ahead against Crystal Palace. There was an electric atmosphere around Old Trafford as his goal was confirmed by video assistant referee review.

Even with 10 men on the field, Manchester United managed to hold on for three vital points that propel them up the table to fourth alongside Newcastle and create a five-point gap over Tottenham.

United’s victory was a much-needed one, sending them on an 11-match unbeaten streak across all competitions. Though Erik ten Hag’s side were never really in control of proceedings, they made up for it with intensity in the final 20 minutes after Casemiro’s dismissal.

84th minute

Manchester United have come back from a goal down to score an equaliser in the 84th minute, thanks to Casemiro’s spectacular looping header. The Brazilian has been an incredible presence for United this season and his first goal was truly remarkable – one for the ages!

Chelsea had taken control of the opening period, with Kepa diverting Antony’s curling effort around the post and then Marcus Rashford shooting after Bruno Fernandes set him up. Jorginho’s penalty was an incredible finish that could have given Chelsea the lead but for Casemiro’s looping header which leveled things up in stoppage time.

United’s 11th consecutive home win under Erik ten Hag indicates they are on track for an excellent season and remain in contention for a place among the top four. It was an impressive showing from United, signalling they will continue their impressive run this season.

86th minute

Casemiro opened his United account in dramatic style, scoring his first goal to salvage a point against Chelsea during stoppage time. Casemiro leapt to meet Luke Shaw’s cross and looped a Ronaldo-esque header past Kepa Arrizabalaga to earn the club an equalizer in this thrilling match.

United’s day could have come to a tragic end had Raphael Varane not suffered his suspected muscle injury during the game. The France international was overcome with emotion after the game and feared missing the World Cup.

Even after opting out of Cristiano Ronaldo in favor of Romero, United were lacking in attack as Jorginho scored from the penalty spot to take the lead. Summer signing Casemiro came through big time in the 86th minute by heading home a corner kick to earn Erik ten Hag’s men a share of the spoils.

93rd minute

Kepa had it set for another clean sheet, but United rallied with a 93rd minute header from Casemiro to draw level and take control of their Champions League campaign with two games remaining. His looping header denied Kepa another clean sheet and put United back in control of their campaign with two games remaining.

Erik Ten Hag’s toughness and abrasive style of play have been a major factor in United’s recent success under him, as his players displayed an edge against Chelsea that they hadn’t had for some time. While this side of football has often gone overlooked by supporters, Ten Hag has worked diligently to restore it during his tenure as manager.

United will take heart from this result ahead of their Europa League match against Sheriff, which starts on Tuesday. A fourth win in five matches suggests they are beginning to lay the groundwork for a strong foundation for the remainder of the season.
