‘Today, we were the best team,’ charged up Jose Mourinho reacts after Man Utd draws 2-2 vs Chelsea in Premier League

“I can tell you that the 97-minutes game was so good that you have to focus on that. We were the best team on the pitch. If you say before the match, one point at Stamford Bridge is always a good result. But after it, the way the game was, it was an awful result for us, and a phenomenal result for them. It is different from the Newcastle match, because in the first half of that, we were not there.

“I can tell you that the 97-minutes game was so good that you have to focus on that. We were the best team on the pitch. If you say before the match, one point at Stamford Bridge is always a good result. But after it, the way the game was, it was an awful result for us, and a phenomenal result for them. It is different from the Newcastle match, because in the first half of that, we were not there.

But in this game we were there. We were in the game. We controlled Hazard, Jorginho, we were in complete control. We had positions to score the third goal, we were the best team. The referee gave six minutes; normally when I am losing I never get six minutes. I do not know where the extra time came from. We always tried to play, even in extra time. But that is football,” Mourinho said after Manchester United drew 2-2 against Chelsea in their premier league clash on Saturday.

An injury time goal from substitute Ross Barkley earned Chelsea a last-gasp 2-2 draw at home to Manchester United in the Premier League on Saturday in a match that ended with United boss Jose Mourinho involved in scuffles.

Two goals from Anthony Martial had appeared to have earned Mourinho's Manchester United a comeback win after they went 1-0 down in the first half.

United, who had never won nor even scored a goal under Mourinho at his former club, went behind in the 20th minute when Germany defender Toni Rudiger strode away from marker Paul Pogba and rose to head home a Willian corner.

Chelsea had most possession and looked in control until Martial thumped in the equaliser in the 55th minute against the run of play after Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga had kept out a close-range Juan Mata shot.

The goal galvanised the visitors and Martial made it two in the 73rd minute after a fine breakaway move between former Chelsea midfielder Mata and Marcus Rashford.

At the other end David De Gea was forced into fine diving saves from David Luiz and N'Golo Kante but was powerless as Barkley hammered home after Luiz's header hit the post.

Mourinho, who won three titles with Chelsea, has been touted as the next Premier League managerial sacking after his side's uncertain start to the season.
