Moises Caicedo scored with a superb volley to earn Chelsea a 1-1 Premier League draw against Manchester United at Old Trafford on Sunday.

Ruud van Nistelrooy took charge of his first Premier League game as caretaker manager of Man Utd ahead of the arrival of new manager Ruben Amorim next week. The Londoners gave the Mancunians a hard time. But they thought they had secured all three points when Bruno Fernandes converted a penalty in the 70th minute after Rasmus Hojlund was quickly pushed away by a tackle on goalkeeper Robert Sánchez.

But Caicedo scored his first brilliant goal of the season four minutes later, sliding the ball into the back of the net after Casemiro played in a clear corner. Chelsea are yet to win at Old Trafford in the league since 2013, but Enzo Maresca’s men leapfrogged London rivals Arsenal to move up to fourth on goal difference with 18 points, while Man United are 13th with 12 points adrift. after 10 games.

Van Nistelrooy certainly got a lot of effort from his players as he waited for Amorim to finally take over from the sacked Erik ten Hag, but he was unable to inspire any real quality. United were very comfortable in defense against the threat of Chelsea, but their lack of creativity and forwardness did not allow them to deserve the victory. United will be disappointed to have lost their lead so quickly, but they are a club that rightly feel they have been held until the new era under Amorim begins after the international break.
