The Blues had to come from behind after conceding our first goal in six, David McGoldrick cleverly flicking Sheffield United in front. The Blades had started the better but once Tammy Abraham equalised midway through the first half.

Hakim Ziyech crossed for Ben Chilwell to bundle us in front shortly after the half-hour, and Chelsea were relentless thereafter, with the former Ajax man’s deliveries remaining a major problem for the visitors throughout.

They could do nothing to prevent another finding the head of Thiago Silva, who capped a commanding performance with a maiden Chelsea goal, glanced in off his head with 15 minutes remaining.

Timo Werner rounded off an excellent evening’s work with an emphatic finish.

Frank Lampard made a solitary change to the side that started the midweek victory over Rennes, with Mateo Kovacic replacing Jorginho in midfield. Thiago Silva captained in Cesar Azpilicueta and Jorginho’s absence. ChelseaFC
