Casemiro spares Scott McTominay as Man Utd level late at Chelsea

There was late, late drama at Stamford Bridge, as Casemiro scored a 95th-minute header to salvage a 1-1 draw for Manchester United against Chelsea. Graham Potter and Erik ten Hag were locked in a tactical stalemate until United substitute Scott McTominay brought down Chelsea striker Armando Broja with four minutes of normal remaining. It looked for certain that the Brazilian winger would give the Red Devils on the brink of half-time, but instead he fired wide after taking the shot on his right foot. The Chelsea striker had nipped away from McTominay at a corner, tempting the Scotland international to tug him down in desperation. Casemiro to the rescueAlthough Jorginho's penalty served as a cruel blow to literally add insult to injury, the Red Devils rallied back and swipe a well-earned point from the Blues' clutches.

now my husband's falling for someone else'

To be honest, things got a bit boring in the bedroom after we had kids, but I don’t think either of us was willing to admit it. However, I’m now devastated as my husband has told me he’s falling in love with someone he’s slept with on a number of occasions. He can’t play happy families and then go off to meet his other woman – a woman he’s admitted to falling in love with. I don’t think an open relationship is ever the answer for a struggling couple.
