Chelsea missed the chance to move closer towards securing Champions League football next season as they were held to a draw at Manchester United on Sunday.
Ole Gunnar's United took the lead with a well-worked goal after only 11 minutes at Old Trafford.
Luke Shaw ran on to Romelu Lukaku's chipped ball into the box and squared for Juan Mata - formerly of Chelsea - to slot home.
United stopper David de Gea has come under pressure in recent weeks and did little to answer his critics when he gifted Chelsea the equaliser.
The Spanish goalkeeper spilled Antonio Rudiger's shot from distance into the path of Marcos Alonso, who found the net via the right-hand post.
