Ratings for the game -

Sheffield United

Ivo Grbic - 4.5

The keeper had a poor showing against the Chelsea attackers and could have done more for both the goals that he conceded in this game. 

Mason Holgate - 5.5

The English defender was mediocre at the back but was trying his level best to stop the Chelsea attackers in this game.

Anel Ahmedhodzic - 7

The centre-back has been great this season and has been one of the forces to reckon with at the back for the opposition. 

Jack Robinson - 6.5

He was unfortunate to leave the game with an injury but put in a solid performance but could not do much for the Madueke goal

Jayden Bogle - 6

The defender was decent at the back as he got some key interceptions and in the offence he was able to grab the assist for the second goal for his side. 

Gustavo Hamer - 8

The midfielder was great in assisting the first goal for his side and was able to contribute in the attack more often than not.

Oliver Luke Arblaster - 7.5

The midfielder had a great game as he was able to transition the ball from defence to attack and was able to cut through the midfield with ease.

Ben Osborn - 5.5

The midfielder was not at all great in this game and was being pushed over for possession in this game by the opposition players.

Auston Trusty - 6

The wide midfielder was not able to create much opportunities and was being cut out by the Chelsea defenders more often than not.

Ollie McBurnie - 8

The veteran was at the right place at the right time as he got the equalising goal for his side late into stoppage time and was the key player in the attack for the side. 

Ben Brereton Diaz - 5

The striker was not clinical at all in this game and was not able to make much of his opportunities in this game.

Substitutes -

James Mcatee - N/A

Cameron Archer - N/A

Vinicius Souza - N/A

Chelsea -

Djordje Petrovic - 5.5

The goalkeeper was at fault for the equalising goal in the second half as he did not come out to clear the ball when required the most. Overall, he made some decent saves but it all went to vain in the end.

Axel Disasi - 6.5

The French international played at his not-so-preferred right-back spot but was still decent as he kept the opposition attackers in check for most of the game.

Trevor Chalobah - 7

The centre-back was great and was often transitioning into attack for the team whenever required. He got in some great blocks as well in the game which was a crucial contribution for him. 

Thiago Silva - 8.5

It was a great game for the veteran as he was able to score the opening goal of the game for his side and was a leader at the back as well.

Marc Cucurella - 7

Totally caught off guard as Bogle dashed by him to seize a through pass and tie the score. productive going forward, but his defence needs improvement. booked for a petty foul late on, and Chelsea is capable of far better left-back play, in my opinion.

Moises Caicedo - 6.5

The defensive midfielder was again poor in this game as he could not dominate the midfield and was at fault for losing possession of the ball. 

Enzo Fernandez - 7

The midfielder was neat when in control and eager to accept the ball at all times. grew fond of the game.

Cole Palmer - 8

The playmaker was effectively stopped by the Blades defence, despite a few shaky challenges. He placed the ball in Madueke's path before his goal, and although he had a few shots, he was unable to score this time.

Connor Gallagher - 7.5

The English midfielder supplied the ball that Silva scored with and he led the press as he hustled and tormented the midfield as usual.

Noni Madueke - 8.5

It was his sublime finish that got the winner in this game as 

Nicholas Jackson - 5.5

The striker squandered a fantastic opportunity by failing to correct his footing following a superb Cucurella delivery. Despite having a physical presence, it lacked the clinical edge.

Substitutes -

Mykhailo Mudryk - N/A

Carney Chukwuemeka - N/A

Benoit Badiashile - N/A

Casadie - N/A
