Cristiano Ronaldo Pick A Point For The Red Devils As He Cancelled Marcos Alonso Opener.



Cristiano Ronaldo scored his first Premier League goal in a 1-1 draw against Chelsea in Thursday's Premier League clash at Old Trafford for Manchester United.

Ronaldo, who has now scored United's last five goals, found the net just two minutes after Chelsea had taken a deserved 60th-minute lead through Marcos Alonso.




The Red Devils have lost three out of their last four games in the Premier League - including back-to-back away defeats at Liverpool and then Arsenal. It is a huge game in the Manchester outfit's season as they look to keep tabs with those chasing a top-four spot.

Despite controlling much of the game, Chelsea failed to make the most of a host of chances in a contest between two teams' whose tumultuous seasons are drifting toward their conclusion.

"One team deserved to win and that was us. We didn't take it. It was a very, very good performance but we were not decisive enough. We lacked a bit of determination in the box to win the game," Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel said.



The result makes little impact on either team in the Premier League standings. Chelsea remain a comfortable third, six points clear of Arsenal in fourth and eight points above fifth-placed Tottenham. United stay a further three points back in sixth, having played two games more than the sides above them, with the result doing little to resuscitate their long-shot hopes of making next season's Champions League.

Chelsea were especially dominant the first half, but failed to make their superiority pay, with Kai Havertz the chief culprit in front of goal. Twice the Germany international was played through by N'Golo Kante but first shot wide of the near post and then fired too close to David de Gea.


The pattern was repeated soon after when Havertz headed straight at De Gea from six yards after being set up by the impressive Reece James.

The last time Chelsea picked up a Premier League win at Old Trafford was almost nine years ago. It was May 2013 when current United player Juan Mata scored the only goal of the game for the Blues in Manchester.

Nine years later, Chelsea will be hoping to replicate a performance similar to that day. So, with all of this being said, scroll down for the very latest updates as and when they happen surrounding Manchester United vs Chelsea.
