Ronaldo proved crucial for Manchester United once again after he equalised a Chelsea goal within seconds with a handsome volley displaying his control over the ball.
Chelsea scored first after Havertz flicked on Reece James' cross into the path of Alonso, who hit a sweetly-struck volley across De Gea.
The lead lasted just two minutes as Ronaldo was at his clinical best to smash home United's first big chance of the game.
Nemanja Matic chipped a brilliant pass into the path of the Portuguese to control and fire high past Edouard Mendy for his 23rd goal of the season.
Watch:
Chelsea edged towards securing their place in next season's Champions League despite failing to make the most of their dominance in a 1-1 draw at Manchester United on Thursday.
Marcos Alonso's opener was quickly cancelled out by Cristiano Ronaldo to leave the third-placed Blues eight points clear of Tottenham in fifth in the Premier League with five games remaining.
In keeping with the Red Devils' season only David de Gea and Ronaldo emerged with any credit by keeping the hosts in the game at either end.
De Gea spread himself brilliantly to twice deny Kai Havertz with the best chances of the first half.
Chelsea should still have gone on to claim all three points as James curled against the post from Mason Mount's cute backheel in the closing stages.
Manchester United, however are now essentially out of the running to finish Top 4 in the Premier League this season.
