Manchester United stormed back to stun the Blues and salvage a point at Stamford Bridge after a late goal from Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez. Here is a statistical look at Sunday's action in London.

• This is only the third time in Premier League history that Manchester United erased a three-goal deficit to avoid defeat. It is the club's first instance in more than 10 years since a 5-3 turnaround over Tottenham in 2001 after drawing 3-3 with Sheffield Wednesday in 1992.

• Wayne Rooney capitalized on both attempts from the penalty mark after previously missing half his attempts in the Premier League this year. Manchester United became the first team in Premier League history to score four consecutive goals all from the penalty spot. Rooney is now 5-of-8 on penalties in the Premier League this season and 13-of-21 in his club career (excluding shootouts).

• Fifteen of Javier Hernandez's 28 Manchester United goals (all competitions) have come in the 73rd minute or later. Since the start of last season, Hernandez has 11 Premier League goals scored inside the 6-yard box, including Sunday's equalizer. His seven goals in 20 Premier League substitute appearances trail only Ole Gunnar Solskjaer all time at Manchester United:

• In, the past two seasons, Hernandez has scored seven EPL goals with his head, trailing only the Wolves' Steven Fletcher.

• With three goals Sunday, Manchester United scored as many goals at Stamford Bridge as it has in its past eight Premier League visits. It had not scored more than one goal in a game in those previous eight appearances since a 2-2 draw in August 2002.
