At Old Trafford, United were held to a goal-less draw by Chelsea. The Red Devils throughly dominated the game but the best chance of the match fell to Chelsea’s Nemanja Matic, who wasted a one-on-one opportunity after hitting the ball way over the bar instead of guiding past De Gea.

EPL Table from Week 19
Major Talking Points From Week 19 Premier League games:
Big statement from Tottenham – Heung-Min Son scored in the 89th minute against 10-man Watford to take Spurs to third in the Premier League table. Late goals always boost the morale of the team, and Spurs must now believe in themselves that they are genuine title contenders. They may not have too many world class superstars in their squad like City, Arsenal or Manchester United, but by playing as a unit, they have worked their way into title contention.
Ozil is a genius, Cech best signing of the season -Mesut Ozil is not only a gifted creative attacking midfielder, he is an artist. The German is a joy to watch when he is on song. And on Monday night, against Bournemouth he was playing at his vintage best. Silky flicks, assist, intelligent moves, goal – he did everything on the pitch.

It was also a special night for Arsenal goalkeeper Petr Cech, who created a record by keeping more clean sheets (170) than any other goalkeeper in the Premier League history. He is already turning out to be one of the signings of the season. Arsene knows.
At Old Trafford, the two goalkeepers steal the show – Both Thibaut Courtois and De Gea made some stunning saves in the match. John Terry was denied by brilliant save from De Gea, while Courtois’s stunning save off Herrera from close range could stand out as one of the saves of the season so far.
