Chelsea Drop Points Against Manchester United at Stamford Bridge. 1-1 was the score line. Manchester United came with a game plan to defend and then catch Chelsea on the counter. Their plan worked. For all the Chelsea possession and dominance, they were restricted to few shots on target.

After a frustrating first half for Chelsea, they started the second half the same way  of dominating possession without any meaningful end put. However, Chelsea were caught on the counter when Jorginho, the last man on the high defensive line, lost possession  of the ball by mistake and Jadon Sancho punished them by slotting home after a one on one with Mendy.

However 19 minutes later Jorginho atoned for his mistake as he converted a penalty kick to make it 1-1.
