Chelsea manager Tuchel admits mixed emotions after Ronaldo rescues point for Man Utd | OneFootball

Cristiano Ronaldo rescued Manchester United once again in Thursday's 1-1 draw with Chelsea at Old Trafford.

The Blues dominated the first-half but were unable to breach the United goal thanks to a number of superb saves from David De Gea.

The Spaniard made great stops to deny Kai Havertz and N'Golo Kante, but Chelsea ultimately broke the deadlock after 60 minutes.

Marcos Alonso was the scorer, volleying past De Gea from a tight angle.

Chelsea's lead didn't last long however as Ronaldo popped up to equalise two minutes later.

Nemanja Matic played an excellent ball into the box and Ronaldo took a touch before firing past Edouard Mendy to send Old Trafford wild.

Reece James hit the post before Ronaldo had a great chance to take all three points but was denied by Mendy.

Manchester United are sixth, five points behind Arsenal in fourth but having played two games.

"I'm a little bit frustrated," Tuchel told reporters.

"We were very strong on and off the ball. Very dominant. A lot of ball wins, a lot of deliveries, a lot of half-chances, a lot space around the box, but unfortunately we lacked precision and determination in the box to finish it off.

"When we had it [the lead], we gave it away it one minute later, so it started all over again, but the reaction was good. I'm very happy with the performance. It was a huge team effort and we showed what it needs to win in a big stadium on a big stage, on a focus level, on a physical input level.

"We were very fluid, very confident. I was happy with the way we played. We found enough moments for acceleration to take more advantage. It felt like a little bit was missing in the last 16 yards of the field to be more decisive earlier.

"Sometimes days like this happen, but it's on us to learn from it. To win on stages like this, you have to be clinical to get the rewards. It was a huge team effort with a lot of quality but unfortunately, we don't have what we deserve."
