Manchester United and Chelsea played a pulsating 1-1 draw at Old Trafford to keep the top four fight going into the last lap of the English Premier League.
Juan Mata scored against his former club to put the Red Devils in front after 11 minutes from a low strike before a blunder by struggling Spanish goalkeeper David De Gea gifted an equaliser for Mairizio Sarri’s Chelsea scored by Marcos Alonso just before the half time.
