Two points lost for Tuchel's Chelsea

Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel will regard this as two points lost after exerting total domination over Manchester United but they were let down by a rare moment of mis-control by Jorginho and a lack of cutting edge.
They also seemed to run out of ideas once they had failed to overpower Manchester United early on. There was the odd second-half skirmish and that late chance for Antonio Rudiger – who also hit the bar in the first half – but it was hardly a siege.
Tuchel will be delighted to see Romelu Lukaku on for the last nine minutes because he is the game-changer in that he is a far more likely candidate than Timo Werner to apply the finishing touches to the opportunities a side of this quality will always create.
Chelsea are still at the top but they will rue the fact that they were not able to extend that advantage further.
