Watch: Peter Drury’s spine-tingling commentary of Casemiro’s goal

Planet Football • 24 Oct 2022

Manchester United fans are still buzzing after Casemiro’s last-minute equaliser at Chelsea on Saturday so let us provide the perfect material to keep the good vibes going – Peter Drury’s commentary of the spine-tingling moment.

Casemiro’s first goal in a United shirt couldn’t have been better timed; Erik ten Hag’s side were staring down the barrel of defeat after an 87th-minute penalty from Jorginho looked to have given Chelsea victory.

But United kept attacking and eventually found a precious equaliser when Casemiro met Luke Shaw’s cross with a beautiful looping header.

Kepa Arrizabalaga tried his best to stop the ball from creeping over the line, but the Chelsea goalkeeper’s efforts were all in vain as the United fans inside Stamford Bridge erupted with joy.

Commentating on the game for the Premier League world feed, Drury exclaimed: “One each! Is it?! There insisting it is – and so it is! Casemiro engulfed. Millimeters in a match of margins. He was made to wait. A wait worth so very, very much!”

Genius. And, like all good commentators, Drury allowed the crowd noise to seep through the television screens before providing expert narration of United’s equaliser.

Reflecting on United’s draw, Ten Hag said: “I have to make a big compliment to my team. To fight back with a fourth game in 10 days, you see the spirit and how they deal with setbacks. Really good.

“First half Rashford had two big chances, Antony one against one. You have to score goals in such moments because in top games three chances is massive. You have to score.

“We dictated the game and I am happy with that. If you concede a goal late it is difficult.

“Eight minutes before half time we had some troubles but defence in the second half we didn’t have troubles. The second half we didn’t really create big chances, but also Chelsea didn’t.

“I think it is a fair result. I would have been disappointed if we had gone without a point because we didn’t deserve that. At the end of a tough week to come here, you bring the point home.”
