Chelsea FC came from behind to beat Sheffield United 4-1 at Stamford Bridge

Despite conceding for the first time in 459 minutes, Chelsea eased to a emphatic win over Sheffield United.

Chelsea kept pace at the top of the Premier League as they came from behind to beat Sheffield United 4-1 at Stamford Bridge.

The Blues had kept clean sheets in each of their last five matches, but saw their goal breached in the ninth minute by David McGoldrick.

However, Tammy Abraham equalised and Ben Chilwell gave Chelsea a lead they would not relinquish as their defensive solidity returned thereafter.

Thiago Silva’s first goal for Chelsea made sure of the victory before Timo Werner made the margin of triumph even more comfortable. 

The winless Blades are bottom with one point from eight games as Frank Lampard’s men are a point behind leaders Southampton and second-placed Liverpool.
