10 minutes of light in the darkness of London

The least we can say is that this match was not flamboyant.

Quite boring even this 1-1 draw between Chelsea and Manchester United.

But a small light of ten minutes appeared in the dark London.

Following a very stupid foul by Scott McTominay who belted Broja in the box, Chelsea were awarded an 85th-minute penalty.

A penalty transformed with full composure by Jorginho (87th, 1-0).

If the locals thought to take the three points, it was without counting on the head full of rage from Casemiro.

Kepa touched the ball, which bounced off the post before rolling between the line and the goal.

It was the referee's watch that validated the goal (90th + 4, 1-1).

The beautiful reaction of Manchester United

A defeat would have been very severe tonight for Ten Hag's men.

Even if the match was not of a high quality, it was the visitors who proved to be the most dangerous.

Led against the run of play thanks to Jorginho's penalty (87th, 1-0), Manchester United did not give up and managed to equalize at the very end of the match thanks to Casemiro (90th + 4, 1-1).

An equalizer full of character, outside, in a game that would have been difficult to lose.

FLOPS

The first (and second) period

It's an understatement to say that the first period was not lively.

If Manchester United has a few times worried Kepa (28th, 45th) the first 45 minutes were quite bland, especially for such a poster.

The hosts did not conduct a single dangerous attack, to the point that Graham Potter made a tactical change after 35 minutes to try and save his side.

Not much better on returning from the locker room, the end of the match “saved” the meeting.

Varane absent for the World Cup?

Terrible news for Varane and the France team.

One month to the day before entering the competition, the Blues may have to do without their defender.

On an action that seemed harmless, the Mancunian seems to have hurt himself alone, with a support that remains blocked in the ground.

On the ground for a few minutes, Varane was replaced on the hour mark, in tears.

Only positive fact, he managed to walk out.

Scott McTominay's Mistake

What a stupid mistake by Scott McTominay.

Yet came into play in the 80th minute, one would think that the Scottish midfielder would have clear ideas about this end of the match.

Obviously, no.

On a corner from the Blues, McTominay belts Broja for several seconds in the area.

Indisputable penalty converted by Jorginho (87th, 1-0).
