The home side were reduced to ten men after Richarlison was shown a straight red card for a dangerous tackle on Thiago Alcantara and looked to have conceded in the dying seconds.
However, the drama did not end there as VAR deemed Mane to be offside as he provided the cross for Henderson, despite television replays proving inconclusive.
Chelsea looked to be in total control after cruising into a 2-0 lead against Southampton at Stamford Bridge, courtesy of two goals from summer signing Timo Werner. But a goal from Danny Ings shortly before half-time and a second-half strike from Che Adams wiped out their lead.

Rangers beat Celtic to move clear at top
Glasgow, UK - Rangers beat a depleted Celtic side 2-0 at Celtic Park on Saturday to move four points ahead of their bitter rivals at the top of the Scottish Premiership.
Steven Gerrard's men are desperate to stop Celtic winning a record-breaking tenth consecutive title and two goals from Connor Goldson proved enough for the blue half of Glasgow.
In the first Old Firm derby without fans, Goldson headed in James Tavernier's free-kick in the ninth minute and tapped in from close range in the second half as Rangers recorded back-to-back wins at Celtic Park for the first time since 1995.
It was Celtic's first defeat in nine game in all competitions, although they have a game in hand over Rangers. Celtic were shorn of four players due to the coronavirus.

Liverpool denied derby win by VAR as Chelsea held
ENGLISH
PREMIER LEAGUE
London, UK -
Liverpool were denied a cathartic victory against English Premier League (EPL) leaders Everton on Saturday when Jordan Henderson's late strike was controversially ruled out for offside as Chelsea shared the spoils with Southampton in a six-goal thriller.
Jurgen Klopp's champions were desperate to atone for their 7-2 humbling against Aston Villa before the international break but had to settle for a 2-2 draw in an incident-packed game at Goodison Park. Everton stayed unbeaten this season to remain three points clear at the top of the table after a number of controversial calls went their way.
Klopp was mystified as to why Henderson's goal was ruled out by VAR.
"There were a number of big moments in the game," he said. "The only situation I saw back is the Henderson goal and I didn't see offside. The picture I saw is no offside, but it was offside because somebody decided it."
Everton manager Carlo Ancelotti was delighted with his side's performance, even though they were denied a fifth straight EPL win. "We competed with them," he said. "We were 1-0 down and equalised, 2-1 down and equalised. It was a good test and I have a good feeling.
"To know we can compete with the champions of the last season it gives us more confidence for the future."
Sadio Mane's smart finish from Andy Robertson's cut-back opened the scoring in the third minute.
The pivotal moment came when Virgil van Dijk was on the receiving end of a dangerous late lunge from Jordan Pickford inside the box minutes early in the game.
However, no penalty was awarded after a VAR review
because Van Dijk had been marginally offside and Pickford was lucky to avoid a red card.
The Dutchman's towering presence was missed at the other end as Michael Keane equalised in the 19th minute.
Mohamed Salah put Liverpool back in front with a spectacular strike with 18 minutes to go but Dominic Calvert-Lewin headed Everton level again.
Werner teeing up Kai Havertz for a neat dinked finish to make it 3-2. But Southampton were not to be denied and Jannik Vestergaard bludgeoned home an added-time equaliser for Saints from a free-kick that Chelsea failed to clear.
