Manama, Casemiro’s injury-time header earned Manchester United a 1-1 draw at Chelsea in the Premier League on Saturday.
Jorginho had looked like giving Graham Potter his first standout win against a major team in the league when converting an 87th-minute penalty.
But Casemiro rose to head past Kepa Arrizabalaga and earn United a deserved point, said AP.
The visitors arrived at Stamford Bridge on the back of its most complete performance of the season in the 2-0 win against Tottenham in midweek.
And United had the best of the chances in the first half, with Marcus Rashford again failing to make the most of his opportunities in front of goal and Antony missing when one-on-one with Kepa.
With Cristiano Ronaldo cut from Ten Hag’s squad after the Portugal striker refused to come on as a substitute against Spurs, United looked in danger of paying the price for its failure to capitalize on its dominance.
Even more so when Scott McTominay brought down Armando Broja in the box late on. Jorginho stepped up and converted from the spot.
Victory would have seen fourth-place Chelsea move four points clear of United but Casemiro ensured late drama.
Rising at the far post to meet Shaw’s cross in the fourth minute of stoppage time, Kepa got a hand to the Brazilian’s header, but could only touch it onto the post before the ball crossed the line.
United had a scare when Raphael Varane had to leave the field after 60 minutes with an apparent knee injury.
The France international was in tears as he departed, raising concerns over his participation in the World Cup.
