DIEGO COSTA RESCUES CHELSEA AGAIN.

Diego Costa’s goal in stoppage time earned Chelsea a point after Jesse Lingard seemed to have claimed victory for United.

A first-half that consistently threatened to break into a meaningful contest ended goalless despite both sides having their chances to find the net. United in particular would regret having 10 corners with only one Marouane Fellaini header representing a sizeable chance.

On the stroke of half time Chelsea were denied what seemed a clear penalty when a John Terry volley deflected off Daley Blind’s hand. That Michael Oliver gave nothing was redolent of a game which kept threatening to become a meaningful contest.

GETTY

Kurt Zouma was taken off on a stretcher

The French defender, who has enjoyed an excellent season, volleyed the ball clear but landed very badly on his right knee.

Zouma's screams were clearly audible as players from both sides called for treatment.

The goal finally sparked some attacking intent from Chelsea but David de Gea was not to be beaten, keeping out a thundering volley from Branislav Ivanovic and Cesc Fabregas’ effort.

With time dying down the ball broke to Costa in the area, he calmly rounded De Gea to secure a point for the hosts. There was time for the striker to go close again, but on this occasion Chelsea could not claim a late win. 

But who impressed at the Bridge?
