Moises Caicedo cancels out Bruno Fernandes penalty
Moises Caicedo's blistering second-half strike cancelled out a penalty from Bruno Fernandes as Chelsea salvaged a 1-1 draw with Manchester United on Sunday in the home side's first Premier League game since the sacking of manager Eric ten Hag.
Chelsea are fourth in the table on 18 points while United, who had interim manager Ruud van Nistelrooy in the dugout, are 13th on 12 points after 10 games.
United's captain Fernandes scored from the spot in the 70th minute after Chelsea goalkeeper Robert Sanchez caught Rasmus Hojlund's foot when diving for the ball. Fernandes sent Sanchez the wrong way, prompting a delighted Van Nistelrooy to leap in the air in celebration.
But the mood in Old Trafford swiftly shifted when Casemiro failed to fully clear Chelsea's corner, leaving Caicedo to fire a low volley that Andre Onana managed to just get a hand on, though he could not stop it sailing into the bottom corner.
Ten Hag was sacked on Monday with United languishing in 14th in the Premier League. Ruben Amorim was named as his replacement on Friday and will arrive at the club on Nov. 11.

Ruud van Nistelrooy says his Manchester United players “looked in the mirror” following Erik Ten Hag’s sacking this week, as he lauded their reaction to the former manager’s departure.
Van Nistelrooy has been placed in interim charge until new boss Ruben Amorim takes over later this month and followed the midweek victory over Leicester City in the Carabao Cup with a 1-1 draw against Chelsea on Sunday to cap a turbulent week at Old Trafford.
Ten Hag was sacked on Monday following last weekend’s defeat to West Ham, while Amorim’s arrival from Sporting was confirmed on Friday, with the Portuguese set to take charge during the upcoming international break.

Enzo Maresca bemoaned Lisandro Martinez’s lucky escape, after the Manchester United defender avoided a “clear” red card during Sunday’s 1-1 draw with Chelsea.
Martinez was booked for a cynical foul on Chelsea star Cole Palmer late in the meeting at Old Trafford and briefly looked in danger of that being upgraded as a VAR review was signalled.
However, referee Rob Jones was not asked to review the decision and his initial on-field call allowed to stand, despite Martinez catching Palmer high on the knee.

It was in defence of the struggling Enzo Fernandez that, ahead of this contest, Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca had strangely insisted that a £100million-plus price-tag ought not to come with any added expectation or responsibility.
Thank heavens, then, for Chelsea’s sake that Moises Caicedo does not appear to subscribe to the same theory.
