Sheffield United vs. Chelsea, Premier League: Live blog; highlights
87min: Abraham receives in the area, turns and shoots from close-range but Jagielka is there to block his effort with a diving tackle.
86min: Hudson-Odoi crosses for Abraham, who gets a header on target but it doesn’t trouble Henderson.
83min: Mousset almost makes it four in a similar situation to the third goal.
76min: Goal. Sheffield United. Sheffield United break, McGoldrick plays it wide to Mousset who returns the favour – Rudiger meets the cross but fails to effectively clear it over any distance at all. McGoldrick is there to clean up. 3-0.
74min: Hudson-Odoi on, Reece James off. Is this.. 4-2-4?
72min: Azpilicueta shoots from distance but O’Connell gets an early block in, it’s deflected for a corner. The set-piece is met by Rudiger who can only glance the ball towards the back post; Abraham gets contact on it but it’s too high and wide and he cannot find the target.
70min: Another shaky moment as an Enda Stevens cross almost finds Lys Mousset at the near post.
69min: It’s a bird, it’s a plane – no it’s Phil Jagielka subbed on for Chris ‘HMS’ Basham.
66min: Olivier Giroud replaces Pulisic with Chelsea moving to a 3-5-2 and he’s immediately involved – he attempts a first-time volley from Rudiger’s long pass, the contact on it is decent but the ball goes wide of the goal.
65min: Abraham knocks down for Barkley who plays to Pulisic at the edge of the area, he gets a shot away which is saved by Henderson.
63min: Lys Mousset and John Lundstram replace Oli McBurnie and Sander Berge respectivey.
60min: Barkley’s free-kick crashes into the wall.
59min: Abraham finally gets his head to a cross from James but it results in a corner, which leads to some retention near the Blades’ penalty area and Barkley is felled by Berge for a free-kick.
57min: More of the same – this time from Pulisic but after he (initially) promisingly won the ball back from O’Connell near the penalty area. However, tempo was then subsequently slowed as the Blades managed to get enough men back.
55min: Two crosses in quick succession from either wingback are to no avail, is this Chelsea’s plan in the second half?
54min: Osborn threatens down the left once more, Pulisic steals the ball off him but Chelsea’s break amounts to nothing.
52min: A rapid exchange involving McBurnie, McGoldrick and Basham sees a cross fizzed through to an onrushing Osborn in the penalty area but it’s cleared away for a corner.
49min: James and Willian combine on the right, James crosses with four bodies in the box but the result is a wayward Marcos Alonso header.
48min: Jorginho is dispossessed by Osborn near the centre circle, he runs towards the right flank but is seen to by Reece James.
47min: Chris Basham strides into the Chelsea penalty area but is crowded out.
SECOND HALF: Two changes from Lampard at the break, Antonio Ruediger and Marcos Alonso have come on while Mason Mount and Andreas Christensen have gone off. Chelsea have switched to a 3-4-3 with…
