The vital Premier League match between Chelsea and Manchester United finished in a disappointing tie on Saturday at Stamford Bridge. Potter would be pleased with the result even though his team didn’t play brilliantly.
Manchester United receiving an excessive amount of the ball early on shook up Chelsea’s defense. But in the first period of play, United was unable to take advantage of Chelsea’s weakness.
In the 35th minute, Graham Potter changed the composition of his team by inserting Kovacic. For the vast portion of the game, this was a wise decision. The first goal of the match was scored by Chelsea in the 86th minute following a foul on Broja that resulted in a penalty kick for Chelsea.

The advantage was short-lived, however, as Manchester United scored in the 93rd minute to salvage a point. The home crowd immediately attributed Manchester United’s equalizer in today’s game to Chelsea’s goalkeeper. If Mendy had been in goal, Casemiro’s header is said to have been easily avoidable.
See what people on Twitter had to say about Kepa following the match vs United:
I suppose Chelsea supporters have every reason to hold Kepa responsible for United’s equalizer in today’s game because he let the team down by failing to block a long-range shot. The Spanish goaltender was without a doubt Chelsea’s top performer during the contest.
He was able to complete four outstanding saves and more than 90% of his pass attempts. We cannot, however, deny that it could have handled Casemiro’s header with greater finesse.
