Manchester United fans disagreed with Craig Pawson's decision to award Manchester City a penalty against Brighton, likening the challenge to one on Jadon ...

Fans online reacted to the decision, believing Silva left his leg out purposely to initiate contact. However, the decision sparked controversy among United fans as it was Pawson who didn't award Jadon Sancho a penalty a week ago in their 0-0 draw Newcastle for a similar challenge. Manchester City were awarded a first-half penalty at home to Brighton when Bernardo Silva was judged to have been fouled following a review by referee Craig Pawson.

United sit a point behind Saturday’s opponents and also head into the clash in fine fettle, despite the recent drama surrounding Cristiano Ronaldo (more on him later) and the derby thrashing by City at the start of the month. After conceding a goal in each of Potter’s first two games against Salzburg and Crystal Palace, the Blues haven’t let any in in their last five. That said, why watch when you can stay here and allow me to bring the game to life with some carefully chosen words? We're about 10 minutes away from kick-off and the noise in the stadium is building very close to what we'd expect. Chelsea manage to get their collective feet on the ball for more than a couple of seconds and move into the United half. Ten Hag revealed that the Portuguese star refused to come on as a late substitute in Wednesday’s victory over Spurs, going up the tunnel before the full-time whistle. Not long after and Cucurella is flying in to a United player. He certainly gets hold of it and it flies just wide of the far post. It's been a good opening to the second half from the Blues. Shaw crosses in deep and the Brazilian rises to put a firm header back across goal. Back and forth goes possession, neither side looking to hold onto the ball for too long. The result keeps Chelsea in fourth place, a point ahead of United.

Giving in to the pressure is not an option. 'Right now, I just feel that I have to keep working hard in Carrington, support my teammates and be ready for everything in any given game.

Casemiro scored his first goal for Manchester United with a dramatic headed equaliser four minutes into stoppage time against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

Kante and Jorginho are both in their 30s and Kovacic, at 28, is arguably beyond the peak of his career. [Match report: Chelsea 1-1 Man United](/soccer/report?gameId=637947) But Ten Hag is clearly a spiky character and the players he has added to the squad since taking charge have given United the physical edge they have lacked for too long. But [Brazil](/soccer/team?id=205) international Casemiro, a £70 million summer signing from [Real Madrid](/soccer/team?id=86), salvaged a point for United by beating McTominay to a cross and heading the ball past goalkeeper Kepa, who had pushed it onto the post.

[Chelsea](/soccer/team?id=363) and [Manchester United](/soccer/team?id=360) played out a tight 1-1 Premier League draw at Stamford Bridge on Saturday. Last season, and repeatedly since Sir Alex Ferguson retired in 2013, United have been a soft touch on the pitch with opponents too often winning the physical battle over the 90 minutes. McTominay had foolishly wrestled Broja to the ground in front of referee Stuart Attwell, leaving the official with no option but to award a penalty.

Cristiano Ronaldo dropped by Erik ten Hag for their trip to Chelsea after refusing to come on as a late substitute against Tottenham before leaving early; ...

"They beat Spurs the other night and thought they'd won the European Cup. They got hammered against Man City [without him], they lost to Brighton, they lost to Brentford, they've drawn today and celebrated like they've won the league. "He has to take his punishment. Can he get back into the team before the World Cup? "Everyone was saying after the Spurs game it was Manchester United's best performance in years. "They asked the manager in the press conference about Ronaldo refusing to come on but they should have asked him when was he going to put him on? Cristiano is too good a player, too fantastic a character and the club have got to move on. "I'm going to try and defend him. 'I count on him') and that he "counts" on him for the rest of the season, but Sky Sports pundit Neville believes the 37-year-old should leave. Let’s focus on this game, it was a good game for my team and I have to compliment my team. That has been brewing over the last few weeks," said Keane. Because this has to end," said Neville.

Manchester United snatched a deserved point at Stamford Bridge on Saturday evening as Casemiro rose to head home his first goal for the club in injury-time ...

Casemiro leaped up to meet it and while Kepa got a touch to it, the ball bounced off the post and over the line as the Brazilian wheeled away in a euphoric celebration to celebrate his first Reds goal. With six minutes of added time given, Shaw drove down the left-hand side and floated a ball into the area. Mason Mount found Raheem Sterling in a big amount of space, but a combination of Casemiro getting tight to him and Dalot putting pressure on Aubameyang squandered the chance for the Blues. There was a blow for United on the hour-mark when Rafael Varane picked up a serious-looking injury which forced the Frenchman off. And it nearly paid off when Shaw picked the ball up from a Christian Eriksen pass. It would have been a harsh result on the Reds, but the drama didn't end there as United fought back to grab a deserved point in injury time.

Casemiro rescued Manchester United as the Brazil midfielder grabbed his first goal for the club in stoppage-time to salvage a dramatic draw at Chelsea.

Fernandes's pin-point pass opened up the Chelsea defence, leaving Rashford one on one with Kepa but a poor first touch took him away from goal and his shot thudded into the Chelsea keeper's chest. Varane's leg twisted awkwardly as he stretched in a failed attempt to intercept a pass towards Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, leaving him crumpled in a heap on the pitch for several minutes. The only concern for United was the sight of France centre-back Raphael Varane limping off in tears in the second half after a World Cup injury scare. Ronaldo was missing from the United squad after being dropped by Ten Hag after his refusal to come on as a substitute in Wednesday's win over Tottenham. Ten Hag's decision to lay down the law to Ronaldo could signal the beginning of the end for the Portugal attacker in his second spell with United. Casemiro rescued Manchester United as the Brazil midfielder grabbed his first goal for the club in stoppage-time to salvage a dramatic 1-1 draw at Chelsea on Saturday.

Casemiro scored a dramatic equaliser deep into injury time to help Manchester United earn a point at Chelsea in the battle for fourth place.

“I would have been disappointed if we had gone without a point because we didn’t deserve that. However, in the 94th minute, Casemiro headed in his first goal for Manchester United through a header that Arrizabalaga got his hand to the ball but could only push it onto the post.

The Premier League side has reportedly been looking to offload the 37-year-old amid growing tension between club and player.

Man United Is Fed Up with Cristiano Ronaldo](https://www.si.com/soccer/2022/10/21/cristiano-ronaldo-manchester-united-future-drama?utm_source=recommendations&utm_medium=in-article&utm_campaign=end-of-story) He eventually returned, but has been relegated to a reserve role for most of the 2022–23 season, having been on the field for fewer than 45 minutes in seven games, with just one goal scored. Though United might be interested in offloading Ronaldo, interest in the soon-to-be 38-year-old from other clubs remains limited. United salvaged a 1–1 draw at Stamford Bridge to remain fifth in the Premier League table. After the match, it was revealed that Ronaldo refused to enter the match as a substitute late in the victory. “As I’ve always done throughout my career, I try to live and play respectfully towards my colleagues, my adversaries and my coaches.

Keane, while agreeing that Ronaldo might have played his last game for United, also showed sympathy for the five-time world player of the year, ...

He has to sit on the bench and make sure he's in that dressing room at the end, shake the players' hands and then have it out with the manager separately. There is a verse in the bible that says: 'This man was handed over to you by God's deliberate plan and foreknowledge; and you, with the help of wicked men, put him to death by nailing him to the cross'.' End it this week or create a truce to get to the World Cup because it has to end. That battle that they've had for all those years, he's not going to give it up easily, he wants to go to a team in the Champions League, he's on a lot of money, £400,000 (per-week), £500,000-per week… He was doing that with the body language to Rashford, he knows what he's doing. 'He had his critics then because he was going over quickly, end product, but what I love about Ronaldo now, he's 37, he's had enough, he snapped, he's 37 and still wants to be the best in the world and that's why I admire him. 'Lots of players have watched him, now he's had to watch them, your careers like a mountain, you're in for a few games, out the team, get in then you get to the top of the mountain then you have to accept whether you play for a big club and accept less games. RK: 'He's talking about the spirit after the game, do you not think he's speaking to Ronaldo? Or you go to a lesser club and play all the time and Cristiano is going to have to go to somewhere else that's going to play him every week because he can't accept being on the bench. He had no other choice but the players in the dressing room had to have some action against them. He loves the club, he needs to play, he wants to play. On the eve of pre-season, he asked for a transfer, he's building up a list of things.

Chelsea news: How the national media reacted to the Blues drawing to Manchester United at Stamford Bridge.

"It had been a game of stratagems and counter-stratagems, plans made and then remade, two coaches trying to control the space on the pitch with the space in their heads. They are locked together in fourth and fifth places, with Chelsea a point ahead. Both look like sides who will press hard for the top four and elevate their ambitions next season." The aggrieved fans of Cristiano Ronaldo, banished from the squad for his petulance, were queuing up to say how much he had been missed. By the end of this taut and thrilling match, the iPads and the tactics boards had been stashed away. Graham Potter and Erik ten Hag stood on the touchline, contemplating this 1-1 draw, looking drained and perhaps even a little concussed by the experience. It did not feel right they should be on the losing side. But that was cancelled out, though, by a header from Casemiro in the dying embers as United took home a point." Casemiro and Bruno Fernandes had been the best players on the pitch for much of the match. "There have been more consequential games between Chelsea and Manchester United over the years.

Man United's Raphael Varane faces a 24-hour wait to learn if he will play in next month's World Cup with France after leaving the field in tears.

"But I think it is a fair result. "We have to wait 24 hours and then we will know what it is." You have to score. "You have to score goals in such moments because in top games three chances is massive. "We can understand he is emotional, but we have to wait because we don't know. "It is difficult to say how it is now because it is so soon after the game," Ten Hag said.
