The main game of the 13th round in the Premier League tonight (Sunday) brought Chelsea and Manchester United together for a battle that ended in a rhythmic and full of opportunities at Stamford Bridge.
Even before the game, United's interim coach, Michael Carrick, surprised when he chose not to place his big star, Ronaldo, in the 11-man contest and up to the Red Devils' advantage goal - his absence was definitely felt.
The Blues dominated the field but it was United who took the lead in stark contrast to the game.
United's defense went far with a long ball and Giorgini just had to take control of it, which did not happen.
The ball flew to the Italian, Jadon Sancho said thank you very much, ran all the way to the goal and easily subdued Eduardo Mendy.
0: 1 Easy for the guests.
Less than twenty minutes passed, and Giorgini apologized for the big mistake.
Van Bisaka tripped Thiago Silva in the box, the Italian took the penalty and sent it to De Hae's right corner.
1: 1 at Stamford Bridge - which as mentioned was kept until the end.
At the start of the round, the difference between the Blues and Manchester City II stood at three points, but following the draw against United and the champions' victory over West Ham earlier, the gap now stands at just one point.
