Referee Stuart Attwell failed to sanction Manchester United in the first half after consulting the pitch monitor.
Manchester United lost more ground to Premier League leaders Manchester City after they played a goalless draw with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
Ole Gunnar Solkjaer’s team remains second, but is now 12 points behind City, while the result left Chelsea out of the top four, one point behind West Ham United.
Manchester United, who have lost just one of their last 20 league games, thought they would be offered a chance to make a breakthrough in the first half, but referee Stuart Attwell dismissed a handball penalty appeal against Callum Hudson- Odoi. after the video assistant referee directed him to consult an on-court monitor.
Chelsea, who remain undefeated under new manager Thomas Tuchel, had chances, but United goalkeeper David de Gea made a good save in the second half from Hakim Ziyech, while rival Edouard Mendy saved well from Scott McTominay and Fred narrowly strayed with a long-range shot. effort. Mendy also turned down a late effort from Bruno Fernandes.
In the end, however, this was another game to add to the list of meetings between the so-called top six that ended in a stalemate.
- Reaction to Chelsea v Man Utd, plus the rest of Sunday’s Premier League action
Chelsea hard to beat under Tuchel
Chelsea will feel a sense of disappointment that they did not get the win that would have placed them in the top four, but this draw means that now it is nine games without a defeat for coach Tuchel since he managed to sack Frank Lampard in January.
Tuchel has made Chelsea tough and tough to beat, but they lacked a vanguard here and moments of awkwardness were rare for Manchester United’s defense and they can’t have any complaints because they didn’t deserve victory.
It has still been a promising start for Tuchel. They have toughened up Chelsea and, with the offensive talent at their disposal, they are in a good position to make a serious bet to break into the top four, while still having high ambitions in the Champions League and the FA Cup.
Tuchel is slowly but surely making his mark and Chelsea can feel optimistic about the coming weeks.
Manchester United falls short
Manchester United’s title aspirations flickered briefly when they then rose to the top after a draw at Liverpool in January, but all logic suggests they have now been snuffed out with the Premier League crown returning to Manchester City.
United’s stats are impressive, they are now undefeated in 20 league games away from Old Trafford, a sequence that includes 13 wins, but they have never really displayed the faith and ruthless edge of would-be champions.
And here, while they certainly deserved their point, United again failed to provide the final flourish that could have turned one into three.
Solskjaer’s side is certainly on an upward curve, but this uninspiring encounter was further proof that any title talk was little more than a pipe dream and there is still a great quality gulf between Manchester United and Manchester City.
The two will meet in the Manchester derby at the Etihad Stadium next Sunday, and with the gap between the teams now at 12 points, City can see it as a chance to end any lingering questions about the fate of the Premier League. season.
