Pogba, at fault for the first goal, emerged from a three-on-one situation on the halfway line to feed in Lukaku and the Belgian played it out to Rashford.
Mata had a fine shot stopped but Chelsea couldn’t clear the ball and after David Luiz went down off the ball Martial found himself free to smash home past Kepa Arrizabalaga. It was a deserved equaliser on the balance of play but what really would have worried Maurizio Sarri was how his Chelsea side stopped playing their own game.
The Blues had made an empthatic start to the season under the Italian but the Chelsea defence suddenly looked nervous and were giving up chances to United. Luiz’s role in the first had put him off his game and he made a crazy decision to lunge in on Mata on the right wing.
The Brazilian missed his challenge and Rashford was free to play in Martial. The Frenchman had Azpilicueta to contend with but bent an exquisite effort round the Spaniard and into the bottom corner to put United ahead.
