Chelsea faced off against Sheffield United at Bramall Lane earlier this evening as they hoped to earn a win on the road in the Premier League. The Blues made a good start to the game and scored the opening goal in the 11th minute when Thiago Silva found the back of the net. However, the Blades equalised thanks to Jayden Bogle’s effort in the 32nd minute. Both teams went into the half-time break with a 1-1 scoreline.
Noni Madueke put Chelsea 2-1 ahead in the 66th minute but Ollie McBurnie equalised for the home team in injury-time. The match finished with Mauricio Pochettino’s men being held to a lackluster 2-2 away from home.
