Chelsea 1 Vs Manchester United 1 Costa scores late to continue Hiddink's unbeatean run
Chelsea and Manchester United played out a 1-1 draw in a Premier League game played on Sunday at Stamford Bridge
Diego Costa scored an injury-time equaliser against Manchester United to continue Guus Hiddink's unbeaten run since he was name temporary coach of Chelsea.
United started well with Anthony Martial giving Branislav Ivanovića a horrid time from the left. He had the game's first chance, curling an effort which was headed to the top corner before Thibaut Courtois put a hand to it.
Chelsea players felt they should have been given a first half penalty when John Terry goal bound shot looked like it has struck the hands of Daley Blind in the 8-yard box.
Referee Michael Oliver waved it away.
A corner from Willian was met by Nemanja Matic but David De Gea did well to save before a Costa effort flew across the face of goal.
Cesar Azpilicueta found Oscar in a good position but the Brazilian midfielder could not direct his shot on goal.
United started brighter in the second half and got a deserved lead through Jesse Lingard in the 61st minute.
Juan Mata fed the impressive Borthwick-Jackson on the left and his cross was met by Wayne Rooney before Lingard pounced and twisted to plant his effort into the corner of the net.
Chelsea had suffered a set-back some minutes before the goal when Kurt Zouma jumped and landed on his right leg with his fully body weight passing through his knee.
