Manchester United star Antony cheekily taunted Chelsea rival Jorginho after his side's 95th-minute equaliser at Stamford Bridge.
The Red Devils rescued a well-deserved 1-1 draw on Saturday thanks to Casemiro 's emphatic header, which came just nine minutes after Jorginho thought he'd won the game for Chelsea. The Blues midfielder slotted home an ice-cool penalty to give Graham Potter 's men a late lead in the Premier League clash.
But Erik ten Hag 's United fought back to extend their unbeaten league run against Chelsea to 10 games, with Casemiro rising highest to meet a Luke Shaw cross and beat Kepa Arrizabalaga - only by millimetres, as goal-line technology showed. The equaliser sparked wild celebrations in the away end, which an ecstatic Antony spirited over to join.
On his way across the pitch, the £86million winger gloated in a dejected Jorginho's face, who'd been a source of irritation for the visitors on and off the ball throughout the game. A draw certainly wasn't a result which the Chelsea ace could have any complaints about, as the Red Devils dominated the first half and his team had the better of the second.
Antony boasted the best chance of the cagey affair for either side, flashing a guilt-edge opportunity past the post in the 45th minute. As the Blues grabbed hold of the second half thanks to Potter's change of system, late pressure led to Scott McTominay giving away a penalty thanks to an ill-advised challenge of Armando Broja. As Jorginho sent David De Gea the wrong way, it was left to Casemiro to spare McTominay's blushes.
Both managers agreed that a point-a-piece was a fair outcome, with Ten Hag saying: "I think it was a good game. In the first half, we dominated the game. But also, that is why the opponent switched their system. And they made it a little more difficult for us, like we saw in the last minutes of the first half. In the second half, I think it was even. It was a battle between two teams of the same height.

"And in the end, I think a point was justified. It was deserved. It was tough, when you get so short for time, you get 1-0 down, I think it is really difficult after the fourth game in 10 days to fight back. But the team found their energy and their strength and fought back. And that's really big for this team."
Potter, on the other hand, admitted: "We're disappointed of course to concede late but over the course of the game I think a point's about right for us. I don’t think we can particularly sit here and say we deserved to win. We didn't do enough to win the game I don't think but effort-wise what the boys put in was amazing, it was fantastic from our players and I'm very proud of them for that."
