Chelsea 2-2 Man Utd: Report, Ratings & Reaction as Barkley Strikes Late to Seal a Draw at the Bridge

A dramatic late equaliser from Ross Barkley maintained Chelsea's unbeaten start to the Premier League season after securing a 2-2 draw against Manchester United at Stamford Bridge.

An evenly contested opening to proceedings gave little in the way of clear cut chances for either team at a sun laden Stamford Bridge.

But Chelsea needed just one opening to land themselves in front on the 20 minute mark after Antonio Rüdiger lost Paul Pogba at a corner kick to power the ball into the net.

However, while Chelsea had the rub of the green in the first half it was all United in the second, as a brace from Anthony Martial looked to have handed the Red Devils a memorable comeback victory, before Barkley pulled one back in the dying stages.
