‘He didn’t join for money’: Manchester United fans salute savior Casemiro as Chelsea drop points at Stamford Bridge.
In the biggest game of the weekend, Chelsea and Manchester United provided a cautious first half with no goals scored.
In the 87th minute, Manchester United midfielder Scott McTominay retired an opponent in the area.
