    He might not have contributed to the goals and the stats might not say much, but Pogba contributes to the team so much more further up the pitch with protection. Surely Mourinho has to keep him there.

    It's a good point Lawro makes on Hazard. We'll have to wait and see what Antonio Conte has to say about it. Taking your best player off with 20 minutes left when you're level with a major rival doesn't make much sense.

    By virtue of their second half performance, Manchester United have edged this. Say what you want about Jose Mourinho but it was a clever substitution by him bringing on Jesse Lingard.

    Chelsea lost their way in the second half and I can’t understand why Chelsea took Eden Hazard off.

    Three things we United fans prize above everything else: winning trophies, attacking football, and bringing local young players through. People might question Jose over the style of play but he is a winner and he does give players like McTominay, Lingard and Rashford opportunities to shine.

    Eduardo: Huge win. Real character shown. At last some fight.

    PJ: Good win for the team and a good performance by the lads!

    Jason: Is it me, or is Lingard turning into the new Solskjaer?

    That is a massive win for Manchester United. They move six points ahead of Chelsea today, as they try to tie up second place. Romelu Lukaku was immense today, he got the equaliser and then put in a perfect cross for Jesse Lingard's winner.

    FT: Man Utd 2-1 Chelsea

    Jose Mourinho seems wired on pure tension, the emotional stress of a vital win, as he points not to himself or his staff but the players still out on the pitch. He is applauding the fans lining the route to the Old Trafford touchline.

    Out there, Romelu Lukaku and Thibaut Courtois discuss with their hands over their mouths.

    Into the FIFTH minute of injury time. The ball is right down Chelsea's end. They boom it up the pitch but straight to a red shirt. Paul Pogba wins a free-kick...

    That was some run from Romelu Lukaku, and this is one of the best games he's had in a while for Manchester United. That run, that extra bit of effort was really appreciated by his manager, and the fans.

    Huge applause for Romelu Lukaku as he bullies his way on to a long ball, harrying the Chelsea defenders. He can't get his shot on target but the ball is right down the other end. At this stage that is all that counts. Still the clock runs.

    Thibaut Courtois launches from deep. Not long but short to his centre-back. N'Golo Kante picks it up and drives forward. Ashley Young blocks. Olivier Giroud winds a shot on goal that is blocked by ankles on the edge of the box.

    Fish Hailu: Thank you Jesse. Every time you got chance, you deliver. Jose should give you more chances and probably pay rise too.

    Antonio Valencia doggedly battling up the right wing - all about the territorial gains from here.

    Chelsea play it loose at the back and for a moment it looks like Paul Pogba can wind up a shot but the ref calls play back for a foul on Willian.

    All Chelsea now. But hang on here comes Chris Smalling with a fine interception and Alvaro Morata goes in the book as he hauls the defender down. Smalling was racing away with it there. That really is a role reversal.

    Three to play. Willian can't reach a Pedro pass deep into Manchester United territory.

    The clock is ticking.
