Despite the draw, Manchester United remain in 8th place in the Premier League table while Chelsea sit in 6th place. Both teams will be looking to improve their form as the season progresses.
They struggled to create clear-cut chances and were wasteful in possession, allowing United to stay in the game until the final whistle.
Overall, it was a frustrating night for Chelsea, who will be disappointed not to have taken all three points. On the other hand, United will be pleased with the result, especially given their recent struggles.
As for Martinez’s late foul on Palmer, it was a clear red card offense and he was lucky to avoid being sent off. It was a reckless challenge and could have resulted in serious injury to the young United player.
In the end, the draw was a fair result, but both teams will feel they could have done better. Chelsea will need to improve their performance if they are to challenge for the title, while United will take confidence from holding the league leaders to a draw.
