Robin van Persie's stoppage time equaliser handed Louis van Gaal's side a deserved point against Premier League leaders Chelsea on Sunday.

The Dutch striker crashed home for Louis van Gaal's side against the Premier League leaders on Sunday . Gary Neville (left, with England manager Roy Hodgson) says it was United's performance of the season . 'It's a big goal for United,' Neville told Sky Sports's Super Sunday. 'They'd have been deflated – because they did play well in the game – to come out and lose. It will feel like a win. 'The performance level, forget the result, but the performance level was a higher level than Manchester United have produced all season against an excellent team; the best team in the league. 'They had to step up a level today and they did. I thought they were fantastic in the first half and they genuinely caused Chelsea problems.'
