Manchester United, Chelsea Draw 1-1 at Old Trafford

Manchester United and Chelsea played to a 1-1 draw at Old Trafford, marking Ruud van Nistelrooy's first Premier League match as interim manager following Erik ten Hag's dismissal. Bruno Fernandes opened the scoring for United with a penalty, but Moises Caicedo quickly equalized for Chelsea. A controversial moment arose when United's Lisandro Martinez was only shown a yellow card for a late challenge on Chelsea's Cole Palmer, despite the severity of the tackle, which raised eyebrows among fans and pundits. VAR reviewed the incident and upheld the referee's decision, classifying the challenge as 'reckless' rather than serious foul play. This decision received mixed reactions, with some former players arguing that Martinez was fortunate to avoid a red card. The match ended with both teams sharing the points, leaving United struggling in the league with just twelve points from ten games.
