On that note, here are the five hits and flops from the game:

Hit Casemiro Manchester United

The Brazilian opened his account in the English top flight. Casemiro has made a huge impact on the side in the last few weeks. The former Real Madrid man continued his fine run of form with another exceptional performance, capped off with a stoppage-time equaliser. The Brazilian was key to controlling the midfield for United in the opening stanza and helped the visitors transition from defence to attack seamlessly. Casemiro's goal in the 94th minute is the first goal Kepa Arrizabalaga conceded in 623 minutes this season Casemiro's goal in the 94th minute is the first goal Kepa Arrizabalaga conceded in 623 minutes this season However, his best bit of play came late on. Casemiro rose the highest to head home the equaliser in the 94th-minute for his first Premier League goal, ending Kepa's run of 623 minutes without conceding.

Flop Raheem Sterling Chelsea

He's now five league games without a goal for Chelsea. Raheem Sterling's Manchester United jinx continued following another blank last evening. In fact, in 79 minutes of action, he failed to muster a single shot. The former Manchester City forward lacked the killer first touch and despite getting into some good attacking positions, he couldn't pose United's defence much problems. Raheem Sterling has played more matches against Manchester United than any other club in his career.

Hit Luke Shaw Manchester United

The left-back assisted Casemiro with a superb cross. His position came under threat from new signing Tyrell Malacia's growing influence. However, Luke Shaw responded with a solid display last evening to make a case for himself. The 27-year-old defended Chelsea's attacks well, making five interceptions, and didn't hesitate to stop Cesar Azpilicueta's run with a dangerous challenge that earned himself a booking. Luke Shaw’s game by numbers vs. Chelsea:

100% tackles won

Just minutes later, Shaw clipped in a wonderful cross at the far post for Casemiro to fire home a header that secured the Red Devils a last-gasp equaliser.

Flop Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang Chelsea

The striker failed to show up for his team. Raheem Sterling was not the only Chelsea forward who had a stinker, as Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang also failed to test Manchester United. The Gabonese international was at the receiving end of some good crosses but couldn't hit them on target, let alone finding the back of the net. He came agonizingly close in the first half when his shot beat David de Gea, but the ball rolled millimeters wide of the post.

Hit Lisandro Martinez Manchester United

The Argentinian (left) was spectacular in defence. Had it not been for Casemiro's late heroics, Lisandro Martinez would've easily been the name on everyone's lips. That's because the Argentine had a stormer at the heart of Manchester United's defence. He worked superbly with Raphael Varane to hold off Chelsea's pressure, showing calmness and composure to make seven clearances and timing his tackles to perfection. Lisandro Martinez’s first half by numbers vs. Chelsea:

100% pass accuracy

37 touches
30/30 passes completed

Martinez also played a key role in winning back possession, a fact exemplified by his six ground duels. To surmise, the former Ajax star was a class act in defence for the visitors.
