Costa’s late strike stops Red Devils

Diego Costa netted in injury time as Chelsea made it 11 games unbeaten since Guus Hiddink’s arrival and denied Manchester United victory at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.
Chelsea were on the back-foot from the word go and United won a succession of early corners, but none of them caused the Blues any real problems.
Anthony Martial produced the first moment of note in the match after 17 minutes, cutting in from the left and pinging a shot towards the top corner that Thibaut Courtois gloved millimetres wide of the far post.
By the 25-minute mark United had earned themselves nine corners before Chelsea finally woke up and begin to threaten themselves.
David de Gea was only called into action once in the opening period, leaping to his right to hold a Nemanja Matic header, but Chelsea had other chance and Diego Costa spurned the best of them by dragging wide from a narrow angle.
Oscar was largely ineffective before being taken off for Eden Hazard early in the second half, but he did go close twice in quick succession before half time, first shooting over from a tight angle before just failing to reach a low cross from fellow Brazilian Willian.
Just before the break Chelsea wanted a penalty when John Terry, after leaving his role at the back to run forward, had a shot that was blocked by Daley Blind.
The ball did strike the Dutchman’s elbow, but his arm was on his chest and Michael Oliver waved away the Blues’ appeals.
As in the first half, United started the better in the second and went close twice in a minute when Wayne Rooney’s shot was kept out by Courtois before Martial shot wide.
