United defender Harry Maguire escaped sanction after wrapping his arms firmly around Chelsea defender Cesar Azpilicueta and pulling him to the ground.

Following the incident, Blues Manager Frank Lampard argued that his side should have been awarded a penalty, however, it was viewed by the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) and Maguire alongside his team went unpunished.

Lampard argued: "Holding is allowed, but headlocks aren't."

The English Manager went on to say: "I thought it was a clear penalty.

"Obviously I didn't see it at the time from where I'm standing. They are hard calls for referees on the pitch, but the VAR was very quick to dismiss it in my opinion.

"I think they should have taken time and advised the referee to watch the monitor. If the referee goes to the monitor, he gives a penalty."

Manchester United are still pinned below the first half of the Premier League table with only seven points from five encounters while Chelsea have accumulated nine points from six games and are within the first half of the table.
