Manchester United grabbed a dramatic late 1-1 draw at Chelsea and here is a look at the three best players on the night…

Casemiro

This was the Brazilian’s kind of game, becoming more and more of a battle as it went along.

But he also showed his quality on the ball, especially in the early part of the game when Chelsea could not get close to him.

The former Real Madrid man capped his performance with a stunning powerful header to grab a point which United were good value for, in all honestly.

Christian Eriksen

Eriksen was recalled to the starting XI here, in the only change Erik ten Hag made from the team which beat Tottenham last time out.

His composure and quality on the ball were in evidence throughout the game here, especially when United controlled the match early on.

The game started to turn when he came off and Ten Hag altered the shape of the game and he showed his value to the side here.

Lisandro Martinez

This was another strong, full-blooded performance from Lisandro, who never looked troubled by the various attacking threats Chelsea have.

He dealt well with the early exit of his central defensive partner Raphael Varane, who picked up an injury which forced him off the pitch close to tears.

As per WhoScored, Martinez made seven clearances and five interceptions, which were both the highest tallies among any player in a red shirt.
