Premier League leaders Chelsea were held to a 1-1 draw at home to Manchester United on Sunday as Manchester City moved to within a point of top spot following a 2-1 win over West Ham in swirling snow. Blues midfielder Jorginho rescued a point as the Italian’s penalty atoned for the error that allowed Jadon Sancho to put the visitors in front at Stamford Bridge.


Ronaldo dropped


Chelsea fell behind when poor control from Jorginho allowed Sancho to score early in the second half. But Jorginho made amends when he scored from the penalty spot after Aaron Wan-Bissaka fouled Thiago Silva. It was an impressive result for United under former midfielder Michael Carrick, standing in following the sacking of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. United are set to hire former RB Leipzig boss Ralf Rangnick as their interim manager until the end of the season in the coming days. Not that Carrick, who took the bold decision to leave Cristiano Ronaldo on the bench, was delighted with the performance. “Disappointed actually,” Carrick told Sky Sports.

“When you are in front in a game like this to have it taken away is disappointing. He added: “I don’t think it was a penalty at all...I am not getting carried away but I thought we defended well. I cannot fault the boys one bit.” Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel said: “I am happy, absolutely happy. I saw a huge effort. We were brave and courageous.”

Rangnick named new boss

Meanwhile, Manchester United announced on Monday they had appointed Ralf Rangnick as interim manager until the end of the season following the sacking of Solskjaer. The German, 63, joins from Lokomotiv Moscow, where he was manager of sports and development. At the end of the season Rangnick, whose appointment is subject to work visa requirements, will take on a consultancy role at Old Trafford for a further two years.
