Match Events
10' WIDE! Willian's free-kick fades away from the target
OVER! Willian takes the free-kick from the edge of the box, but gets his effort horribly wrong, clearing the bar with his strike. A poor one from the Brazilian.
21'GOAL! Chelsea 1-0 Man Utd (Rudiger)
Goal! Chelsea 1, Manchester United 0. Antonio Rüdiger (Chelsea) header from the centre of the box to the bottom left corner. Assisted by Willian with a cross following a corner.
40' Morata slices 25-yard strike well wide
WIDE! Morata has space and time on the edge of the box, but he slices his right-footed strike well wide of the targe
48' CHANCE! Morata's shot saved by De Gea
CHANCE! Jorginho drives through the middle of the park and feeds Morata with an incisive throughball in the box. The Spaniard turns Smalling and fires low towards the bottom corner, but De Gea gets down to make the stop.
55'GOAL! Chelsea 1-1 Man Utd (Martial)
GOALLLLLLLLLLL!!! MARTIAL EQUALISES!!! 1-1!!! Martial levels the scores with a composed finish from close range. Chelsea pay the price for failing to clear the ball from their box. It's a scrappy goal as Martial latches on to a loose ball in the air and brings it under control on the penalty spot. He makes no mistake burying his effort with power beyond Kepa. United are back in the game.
73'GOAL! Chelsea 1-2 Man Utd (Martial)
What a turnaround! Young looks down the line for Mata, who chips the ball beyond an out-of-position Luiz on the right touchline. He finds Rashford who in turn feeds Martial on the edge of the area.
He lets his first touch run heavy back across goal, taking him inside Azpilicueta, and fires into the far corner beyond Kepa. A lovely finish.
96: GOAL! Chelsea 2-2 Man Utd (Barkley)
Chelsea are level! Luiz hits the post from a hopeful header from the angle as the hosts pile bodies into the box, Rudiger sees the follow-up saved by De Gea and a third bite of the cherry is turned in by Barkley!
Match reports
Jose Mourinho was involved in a furious touchline bust-up after Ross Barkley struck a last-gasp equaliser to hand Chelsea a 2-2 draw against Manchester United at Stamford Bridge.
Mourinho appeared on course to record a first victory as United boss at his old club thanks to Anthony Martial, the Frenchman’s brace overturning a half-time deficit.
Martial volleyed home to cancel out Antonio Rudiger’s 21st-minute header before curling in what looked like being the winner from the edge of the penalty area.
However, substitute Barkley – a major injury doubt for the fixture – made sure Maurizio Sarri avoided his first league defeat as Chelsea boss by smashing home a rebound in the sixth and final minute of additional time.
The dramatic finish sparked wild scenes of celebration on and off the field, with Mourinho taking exception to one member of Sarri's staff celebrating right in front of him. Security staff had to get involved to restore order, though the two managers shook hands after an eventful conclusion.

Ross Barkley has scored in successive PL appearances for the 1st time in almost 3 years, since for Everton v Aston Villa & Bournemouth in Nov 2015

Anthony Martial scores his 1st goal against Chelsea in his 7th app - before today the only team he’d played as many games against for Man Utd without scoring, was Bournemouth (6 games, all starts)

Mourinho has two things to work on. He has identified one but not the other. 1. He needs a good defence. At the moment, they are awful. When Mourinho moans about his defence, it is not just because he wants to be defensive. He wants to be sure he won't be conceding useless goals like what we say against Chelsea today. It was sloppy and very annoying. 2. Mourinho needs to find a way to make his players work for 90mins and stay focused. What we have seen in the past few weeks is a team that doesn't work at all, and when they do, it is only for the last 45 minutes of the game. And this is the most important work because with it, even an average team can win games.

If that extra time was 4mins, We would've been telling a different story. GGMU nobody gave us a chance even our so called legend Scholes, at d end Chelsea were the one's chasing the game. Mourinho needs time, he's still got it

The yellow card in 93th min reminds me that Man United still have a star called Sanchez.

Nah we were definitely better overall. If I saw United controlling the tempo then I would admit it but honestly the best cases were when we were hit on the counter. Both goals for United were extremely lucky and pretty much down to defensive error. United best player even though I still think he's a fraud was Pogba. He was dictating the midfield perfectly. Martial has a good finish on him, I'm still not sure why he's played left when he would be a brilliant false 9. I have respect for Lukaku but martial is a better finisher...
