Chelsea scored their third straight win and their fourth straight in a row under Thomas Tuchel after beating Sheffield United 2-1 away. With the success against the last in the provisional ranking of the Premier League, the `blues from London` came close to a point from the fourth place, currently occupied by Liverpool. Mason Mount (43 `) gave the guests the lead, but Antonio Rudiger (54 `) scored an own goal, which restored the hopes of the `blades`. However, Chelsea quickly corrected this and came to success with a goal from a penalty by Giorgino (58 `).
Chris Wilder made four changes compared to the team that beat UBA in the last round. Keane Brian, Max Lowe, Oliver Burke and Oliver McBurney started. Thomas Tuchel made three adjustments. Andreas Christinsen, Ben Chillwell and Olivier Giroud started as Londoners in a formation with three central defenders. The Blades got off to a good start. In the beginning, Burke missed a great situation after shooting from the side, and in the 11th minute the hosts received a penalty for a violation of Chillwell against Basham.

Initially, Kevin Friend did not judge anything, but after the game advised by topsoccerpredictions was interrupted, he watched a repeat of the situation and pointed to the white dot. Giorgino made no mistake from the penalty spot, giving Chelsea the lead again.
Sheffield tried to reach an equalizer, but at every opportunity Rudiger intervened to block the shots of rival players, thus atonement for his own goal. In added time, Billy Sharp had a great chance after shooting very well with a pair of scissors, but Mandy was careful and killed.
