Manchester United 1-1 Chelsea: 5 Hits and Flops

#2 Hit: Luke Shaw

Shaw was - as he usually is - quietly impressive and United's best player against his boyhood club

A lot has been said about Shaw, his consistency levels and the fact he was a boyhood Chelsea fan, released by the west Londoners for "being too small" in his early teenage years. Well, on his tenth senior appearance against the Blues, he quietly delivered another impressive display and should've been rewarded with a win for his endeavours.

His link-up play down the left with Romelu Lukaku and goalscorer Mata was excellent to see. It was the fullback's piercing through ball which set Lukaku through on-goal with only Kepa to beat and although that chance didn't result in United's opener, he created the assist for Mata's finish with a clever reverse pass inside the box after displaying composure and good decision-making to bomb forward to begin with.

Luke's creative abilities were on show here: two key passes (82.1% pass accuracy) and three successful long balls - but he crucially didn't shy away from his defensive responsibilities either. Four clearances and two blocks despite not completing a tackle, United have struggled for form this term but Shaw's been one of their most reliable performers and continues to prove his worth in big games like these.
