Photos: Robin van Persie's stoppage-time strike earned Manchester United a point in an encounter with Chelsea.

Man Utd 1-1 Chelsea

In a game of few chances Chelsea were the better team and the goals came from two set-pieces. Chelsea were tactically spot on, they were big and powerful and creative when they needed to be, but scored from a corner when Rafael was marking Didier Drogba. How can that happen?
"And then for the equaliser it was the best player on the pitch who got the initial header on target - Marouane Fellaini - a great save by Thibaut Courtois but it fell to Robin van Persie and he reacted quickest to smash it into the goal. United kept going, but they did seem to lack a pace and energy." see more pics after cut...
