Another remarkable comeback by Manchester United ultimately proved in vain as Chelsea conjured up their own recovery in injury time to inflict an agonising 4-3 defeat at Stamford Bridge.
Academy graduate Alejandro Garnacho netted clinically in each half, either side of Bruno Fernandes's equaliser, as the Reds came back from 2-0 down to deservedly lead 3-2, a scoreline that remained intact as a breathless Premier League contest headed into its 99th minute.
It was then that a much-needed victory was crucially snatched away from Erik ten Hag's men, as former Manchester City forward Cole Palmer held his nerve after a long VAR check to slot a penalty past Andre Onana for the second time in the game.
