Chelsea 4-1 Sheffield United: Comfortable win for Blues leaves Sheff Utd bottom

Ben Chilwell scored four goals in three Premier League home games for Chelsea (2 goals, 2 assists).

Chelsea came from behind to comfortably beat Sheffield United at Stamford Bridge, leaving guests with a disappointing evening at the end of the Premier League alongside Chris Wilder.

David McGoldrick led the knives in the ninth minute with a smart point-blank click.

However, Tammy Abraham’s scratched half ball slipped past Aaron Ramsdale and levelled for Chelsea before Ben Chilwell hit Hakim Zieh’s cross from the back of the box.

Ziech became goalkeeper again after the break when Tiago Silva entered the penalty area at the next post, before Timo Werner scored a fourth goal.

The result leaves Sheffield United one point behind in their first eight games, while Chelsea ranks third behind leaders Southampton.

The amazing Ziec impresses

Hakim Ziec has scored four goals in the last two matches of the Premier League.

Chelsea had three new signatures on the scoreboard, but it was another summer signing that stole the show in West London on Saturday.

Zieh, who picked up the two assistants, demonstrated his quality by making countless deliveries to the box, from decorations to a range of excellent equipment.

He took part in the climb to the starting grid and his low centre caused problems for Ramsdale after a few minutes. The ball was parried on its way to Werner, who slid over the crossbar and slowed it down.

Another Zieh-ball – almost identical to the previous one – bounced from Chilwell after the 2-1 defeat of Ramsdale and the head of the Moroccan to Silva after a free kick.

The midfielder could set up a few more. His sublime ball for Werner was hit by the former Leipzig RB player, who in turn gave Cieh his thumb, just a few inches.

Director Frank Lampard was full of praise for Ziyech and described the performance of the 27-year-old as amazing.

He was supposed to be at the top today, Lampard told the sports department. He has good self-confidence, and arrogance is good arrogance. He’ll keep trying to get those passports and trying to get those transfers.

Rotten mould LLC cartridge plus

Chelsea only against the Wolves (6) and Nottingham Forest (5). Tammy Abraham scored more goals in the English league than Sheffield United (4 goals in 4 games).

Sheffield United began their Premier League campaign on Friday, a day after Burnley signed in Brighton, and won’t have a chance to escape the table for another two weeks.

It was a disappointing start for Blades, and all hopes of a turnaround at Stamford Bridge seemed to have evaporated before the break.

McGoldrick’s joyful kick gave them an amazing advantage – it was the first goal Chelsea scored in the 459th minute, but it forced the visitors to go lower rather than play on the front foot.

Blues took advantage of the vulnerability of their opponent and tested goalkeeper Ramsdale with constant deliveries in the penalty area.

Ramsdale himself experienced a few nervous moments – the hesitation on Chilwell’s goal, a parade in which Werner almost took revenge, and the ball of a Ziehah cross in the second half.

Sheffield United, who was eliminated in the game against Manchester City on the 31st. October managed to keep the scoring line in the match against Manchester City, was unable to do so at Stamford Bridge, and was not a major threat to the future.

The international breakthrough came at a good time for the Blades after the defeats of Liverpool and Arsenal and City and Chelsea last month.

It will be a crucial phase in which they will also return as they are 15th, after West Ham United and West Bromwich Albion, who are third from below, before taking on Tottenham on Sunday.

The balance of the team was excellent – what they said.

Chelsea played great football. – Lampard.

Chelsea Lampard, athletic director: It’s been a pleasure. This is the team that is so hard to play against. It’s a great team with an incredible coach. The reaction on arrival was brilliant – we did a lot of things and we were really safe. I’m happy with all of them.

The balance of the team was excellent. There were so many good things in what we created that we scored two goals in the missions.

I don’t want to get too carried away, but I’m happy.

My team at Chief Wilder’s is naive.

Sheffield United runs Wilder in the sport: Sometimes my teams are naive. It doesn’t matter. We’ve dropped some bad targets. I think we should look at each other.

When you hand out flyers to world-class players, they take their chances – and they did. So don’t open it, because it could be any account.
