Here we have with us the Chelsea Player Ratings after their frustrating draw against Manchester United. The game featured the Blues taking on the Red Devils at Stamford Bridge during their Premier League clash on Sunday. It was one of the most decisive fixtures of the weekend, as the game ended in a close 1-1 draw.

As Thomas Tuchel’s side failed to secure the win, Chelsea is still at the top with 30 points but the Blues are now just one point ahead of second-placed Manchester City in the title race. On the other hand, Manchester United sits at 8th place, tying their points with Brighton and Leicester.

Another dominating performance by Chelsea failed to reward them with more points. With 68% possession and 10 total shots in the first half, the team was unlucky to go into halftime without a lead. Cristiano Ronaldo didn’t start for Manchester United against Thomas Tuchel’s side.

A costly mistake by Jorginho in the second half put Jadon Sancho one-on-one with Edouard Mendy, who managed to put it past the goalkeeper. However, the Italian redeemed himself with a perfectly placed penalty to equalize the score. A great last chance for Chelsea was blown away by Antonio Rudiger as the game ended in a draw.
