Chelsea were unable to build on their win against Manchester United as they drew 2-2 with rock-bottom Sheffield United at Bramall Lane.
Thiago Silva gave the Blues an early lead on just 11 minutes, with a beautifully struck volley into the bottom corner. However, Chelsea, despite having the majority of the ball, failed to extend their lead and conceded 21 minutes later.
Jayden Bogle caught out Djordje Petrovic to get the Blades back into the game. Chelsea, though, went back ahead on 66 minutes after a thunderbolt from Noni Madueke beat Ivo Grbic in the Sheffield United goal.
Ollie McBurnie capitalised on some poor defending from the visitors to ensure the points were shared. Below, Bobby Vincent rates the Chelsea players who featured in Yorkshire.
Djordje Petrovic – Has to do better for Bogle's goal. He anticipates that it is going to be a cross across goal by the looks of it and his positioning is all wrong as a result. Makes a good save late on to hump his rating up a bit. 5.
Trevoh Chalobah – He did well at right centre-back. Made a couple of crucial blocks from his positioning alone. Good to see him back in the side.6.

Axel Disasi – Played at right-back. Disasi looks like he was told to stay back and not overlap Noni Madueke on the wing, which caused the latter some issues at times. Solid, though, on the right-hand side of defence. 6.
Thiago Silva – So, so good to see him back in the side for the first time since February. Takes his goal so well. A proper striker's finish. Fortunate to get away with one when he looks to pass it back to Petrovic.
