Man Utd midfielder Eriksen: Casemiro equaliser a big relief

Manchester United midfielder Christian Eriksen was delighted for Casemiro after their draw at Chelsea.

Casemiro's header in injury-time rescued a point for the visitors.

“It does feel like a big relief compared to the six minutes before with the penalty against, it was a big blow," the Denmark international told manutd.com.

“But, obviously, it shows the character and what a nice header.

“It was [a cracking header] – a very strong neck! [Smiles] A very strong neck to get the ball over there, a very nice goal," he added.

The late equaliser of course sparked scenes of jubilation for the Reds and our travelling supporters, who were able to celebrate together, with the goal coming at the end that our fans were situated.

“I think that's what the fans want to go to the stadium for, that's what we as players want to achieve," said Christian.

“We want to entertain and score goals and celebrate with the fans. Like you said, it was perfect timing to score at that end, to celebrate with the fans."
