Manchester, England (SportsNetwork.com) - Robin van Persies stoppage-time equalizer helped Manchester United rally for a 1-1 draw with Chelsea at Old Trafford on Sunday. Didier Drogbas 53rd-minute goal looked to be the difference as Chelsea took a 1-0 lead into the dying moments of the contest. But a free kick from Angel Di Maria was headed on target by Marouane Fellaini, allowing Van Persie to knock home the rebound for a dramatic late point. Chelsea now leads second-place Southampton by four points at the top of the table, while United remains in eighth place. The hosts enjoyed a good first half that saw the team limit Chelseas chances while creating a few good ones themselves. Van Persie had an opportunity in the 23rd minute when he slipped in behind the Chelsea defense and turned a shot toward goal that was kept out by onrushing goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois. Drogba forced a nice save from David De Gea in the 41st with a first-time shot following a pass from Oscar, while Adnan Januzaj fired just wide of the near post in the closing minutes of the opening half for United. De Gea did extremely well to deny Eden Hazard in the 52nd minute as the Belgium international knifed through the middle of the defense but failed to sneak his shot past the goalkeeper, who tipped the ball around the post. But the ensuing corner kick resulted in the Blues going in front with Cesc Fabregas driving the ball to near post for Drogba, who turned a header past Van Persie on the goal line. Chelsea looked poised to see out the match, but Branislav Ivanovic picked up a second yellow card for a foul on the left wing, allowing Di Maria to serve up a nice ball onto the head of Fellaini, whose effort was kept out by Courtois but parried straight to Van Persie for the equalizer. Everton notched its third win of the campaign as Samuel Etoo scored a goal in each half to lead the Toffees to a 3-1 win at Burnley, which has yet to register a win. Sundays other fixture saw Newcastle climb out of the bottom three with a 2-1 comeback win at Tottenham. Emmanuel Adebayor put Spurs in front with a goal in the 18th minute, but Sammy Ameobi came off the bench at the break and scored in the opening seconds of the half, while Ayoze Perez struck the winner in the 58th for Magpies. .com) - A chant of Zeke reverberated around AT&T Stadium before Ezekiel Elliott powered into the end zone for his fourth and final touchdown. . -- The Chicago Bears have agreed to terms with safety Brock Vereen and QB David Fales on four-year contracts. . - Vince Carter, heading into his 17th NBA season, doesnt consider age a big issue anymore. .
