Chelsea 1-1 Manchester United player ratings: Who was YOUR man of the match at Stamford Bridge?: OPINION

Excellent: De Gea was in fine form for United
Diego Costa rescued a point for Chelsea with a late leveller against Manchester United. The Spanish international had struggled to find a way past the excellent David De Gea but capitalised on Cameron Borthwick-Jackson's experience to make it 1-1 Jesse Lingard had given United the lead with a fine volley but Costa responded to maintain Chelsea's unbeaten record under Guus Hiddink.
Here are our complete player ratings.

Chelsea

Courtois 8 - Three terrific saves and little blame for the goal.
Ivanovic 6 - Given a rough ride by Martial but held up well and almost scored.
Zouma 7 - Basic but effective defending before his horrible injury.
Terry 7 - Rolled his socks up, puffed his chest out and led well.
Azpilicueta 5 - Not at his best defensively or going forward.
Skipper: Terry's shot is blocked by Daley Blind
Mikel 5 - Won a few meaty tackles but bang average on the ball.
Matic 6 - Quietly effective in screening role but sacrificed when United went ahead.
Wlllian 7 - At the centre of most of Chelsea's best attacking work.
Fabregas 6 - Very poor first half, very decent second half.
Oscar 6 - Worked hard and has added a crunching tackle to his game.
Costa 7 - Had his usual nuisance value and sniffed out late leveller.
Subs: Hazard (for Oscar, 54 min, 5), Cahill (for Zouma, 58 mijn, 5), Pedro (for Matic, 67 min, 5)
Leveller: Costa fires home to make it 1-1

Manchester United

De Gea MOTM 8 - Three world-class second-half saves.
Darmian 7 - Galloped forward well and defensively sound
Smalling 6 - Booked. Grew into game after some dodgy early distribution.
Blind 6 - Booked. Cultured on the ball but slip led to equaliser.
Borthwick-Jackson 7 - Coped pretty with Willian, bombs forward and crosses well.
Youngster: Borthwick-Jackson closes down Willian
Carrick 7 - Did his Carrick thing –all interceptions and angled passes.
Fellaini 7 - Shackled Fabregas and enjoyed the physical battle.
Lingard 7 - Booked. A terrific finish – the winger's second in as many games.
Mata 7 - Elusive in the No 10 role, he's still loved at the Bridge.
Martial 6 - Forced a great early save, though not at his most effective.
Rooney 6 - Some decent link-up play but more perspiration than inspiration.
Subs: Schneiderlin (for Fellaini, 79 min, 6), Memphis (for Lingard, 86 min, 4), Herrera(for Mata, 90 mins, 5)
