Italy
midfielder
Jorginho
looked
to
have
set
United
on
their
way
to
victory
in
what
is
likely
to
be
Carrick’s
only
Premier
League
match
as
manager
before
he
is
replaced
by
another
interim
appointment
in
Ralf
Rangnick.

No
ever-present
Premier
League
team
have
earned
fewer
points
from
losing
positions
than
Chelsea
since
Thomas
Tuchel’s
arrival
in
January,
but
Jadon
Sancho’s
first
goal
in
the
competition
after
Jorginho’s
blunder
was
followed
by
similarly
generous
United
defending.

Aaron
Wan-Bissaka’s
foul
on
Thiago
Silva
teed
up
a
Jorginho
penalty,
with
a
point
–
taking
the
Blues
clear
of
Manchester
City
–
the
very
least
the
hosts
deserved.

United
were
beaten
4-1
by
Watford
last
time
out
in
the
league
in
what
proved
to
be
Ole
Gunnar
Solskjaer’s
last
match
at
the
helm
and
familiar
frailties
were
soon
evident
as
neither
Wan-Bissaka
nor
Victor
Lindelof
cut
out
a
straightforward
ball,
forcing
David
de
Gea
to
save
smartly
from
Callum
Hudson-Odoi.

FIXTURES

Only
the
frame
of
the
goal
kept
United
on
level
terms
going
into
the
break,
as
Antonio
Rudiger’s
long-range
drive
crashed
against
the
crossbar,
but
Carrick’s
side
were
rewarded
for
staying
in
the
game
early
in
the
second
half.

Jorginho’s
loose
touch
gave
Sancho
a
clear
run
from
halfway
and
he
used
the
potential
square
pass
to
Marcus
Rashford
as
a
decoy
before
slotting
past
Edouard
Mendy.

Yet
United
gave
Jorginho
an
opportunity
to
earn
his
reprieve
when
Wan-Bissaka
hacked
at
Silva
in
the
box,
allowing
the
Chelsea
midfielder
to
send
De
Gea
the
wrong
way
from
12
yards.

The
result
could
have
gone
either
way
from
that
point,
with
Fred
aiming
a
delicate
chip
into
Mendy’s
arms
after
the
goalkeeper
had
inexplicably
passed
him
the
ball,
before
Rudiger
rifled
a
last-gasp
volley
over
the
crossbar
when
unmarked.
