At Stamford Bridge on Thursday, Chelsea defeated Manchester United 4-3 thanks to two goals in stoppage time. But after blowing two opportunities to win at Bramall Lane, Mauricio Pochettino's squad suffered its most recent defeat there. In the eleventh minute, Thiago Silva, starting in his 100th Premier League game, opened the score with a shot that dipped just inside the post from Conor Gallagher's corner. In the 32nd minute, Jayden Bogle tied the score with a close-range shot following a ball from Gustavo Hamer.
In the 66th minute, Noni Madueke gave Chelsea the lead again following a pass from Cole Palmer, whose shot was subsequently deflected over the bar by Ivo Grbic. Nicolas Jackson was about to expand Chelsea's advantage when Anel Ahmedhodzic made a last-ditch challenge, but McBurnie's close-range shot allowed Sheffield to salvage a point.
