Chelsea held, Cavani sparks Man U
    2020-12-01  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

TOTTENHAM moved to the top of the Premier League with a 0-0 draw against title rivals Chelsea, while Edinson Cavani inspired Manchester United’s thrilling 3-2 win at Southampton on Sunday.

Jose Mourinho’s side climbed above previous leader Liverpool on goal difference after a sterile London derby at Stamford Bridge.

Tottenham is unbeaten in nine league games and Mourinho seemed happy to frustrate his former club as they adopted a cautious approach with little attacking ambition.

Chelsea has not lost in its last 11 games in all competitions and sits in third place, two points behind Tottenham and Liverpool, who drew 1-1 at Brighton on Saturday.

Timo Werner thought he had put Chelsea ahead early in the first half with a superb finish, only for an offside flag to thwart the Germany striker.

Chelsea’s Mason Mount forced a good save from Hugo Lloris in the second half, while substitute Olivier Giroud should have done better than shoot straight at the Tottenham keeper in stoppage time.

The drab clash in west London was a stark contrast to United’s dramatic fightback from two goals down at St. Mary’s.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side was facing a dismal defeat after first-half goals from Jan Bednarek and James Ward-Prowse put Southampton in control.

But Uruguay striker Cavani sparked United’s escape act after coming on at the interval.

Cavani set up Bruno Fernandes to reduce the deficit and the former Paris Saint-Germain star grabbed the equalizer from his teammate’s deflected shot.

The 33-year-old netted again in the final moments as his third goal since signing as a free agent in October extended United’s winning to four games in all competitions.(SD-Agencies)
