Photos ⬇ Sheffield United continued their push for European qualification as they moved into the Premier League's top six with a convincing win over in-form Chelsea at Bramall Lane.
David McGoldrick's first Premier League goal opened the scoring, pouncing after Kepa Arrizabalaga had saved brilliantly from a deflected Oli McBurnie shot in the 18th minute.
Sheffield United recorded their first four consecutive top flight home wins on Saturday after beating Chelsea ⬇
Chelsea's defence was shaky throughout and they were ruthlessly punished just 15 minutes later when Enda Stevens crossed and McBurnie was left completely unmarked in the six-yard box to power home a simple header.Today marked the first time we’ve won four consecutive home top-flight matches since March 1991.

The damage was completed when McGoldrick capitalised on a dreadful defensive mix-up to plunder his second late in the second half.
