Chelsea missed two valuable points in its struggle to compete for the top spot in the English Premier League, after falling into a 1-1 draw with its guest, Manchester United, today, Sunday, at the top of the thirteenth stage of the competition.

Despite the draw, Chelsea, seeking to regain the title absent from its treasuries in the last four seasons, remained at the top of the competition with 30 points, one point ahead of its closest rivals, Manchester City (the title holder).

On the other hand, Manchester United (Red Devils), who won one victory in their last eight matches in the championship, rose to 18 points in eighth place.

United advanced with a goal in the 50th minute, signed by Jadon Sancho, who took advantage of a naive gag from the Italian Jorginho, who quickly corrected his mistake by scoring the equalizer for Chelsea in the 69th minute from a penalty kick.

The London team tried to grab the three points in the remaining time of the match, but to no avail, to remain unable to win against United in their league matches for more than 4 years.

Chelsea's last victory over United in the competition dates back to November 5, 2017, when they beat it 1-0 at Stamford Bridge, which hosted today's meeting.
