Tuchel: “Only one team deserved to win”
Speaking to Sky Sports, a frustrated Thomas Tuchel had this to say:
“Only one team deserved to win, but we didn’t take it.
“We were not clinical enough and lacked a bit of determination in the box.
“We worked so hard to get the lead and then suddenly the opponent gets one shot and scores.
“I think Reece played a very good match.”

Fulltime
Honours even in this one, as Old Trafford sees a bit of fight from their side in a 1-1 draw with Chelsea.
Marcos Alonso opened the scoring on the hour mark, but an instant reply from Cristiano Ronaldo saw the points shared.
The result doesn’t change things too much for United, whereas Chelsea took a small step towards securing their Champions League status again.
