Jorginho's penalty earned Chelsea a 1-1 draw against Manchester United, making up for the gaffe that allowed Jadon Sancho to put the visitors ahead on Sunday.

At Stamford Bridge, Thomas Tuchel's team dominated for lengthy stretches but went behind when Jorginho's sloppy control allowed Sancho to score early in the second half.

After Aaron Wan-Bissaka fouled Thiago Silva, Jorginho made up for his error by converting a penalty.

After laying siege to United's goal and seeing David de Gea make a succession of great saves, it was the least Chelsea deserved.

Chelsea is unbeaten in their previous 11 games in all competitions, but they are currently only one point ahead of second-placed Manchester City, who beat West Ham earlier on Sunday.

United is 12 points behind the leaders in the seventh position, but their tenacious performance provided something to build on after a difficult spell.
