Chelsea Stalled in Draw with Bottom-of-the-Table Sheffield United
Oli McBurnie's Late Equalizer Denies Blues Three Points
Cole Palmer Continues to Impress with Impressive Performance
Chelsea's recent winning streak came to an abrupt end on Saturday as they were held to a disappointing 2-2 draw by Sheffield United, who currently occupy the bottom of the league table.
The Blues, buoyed by their victory over Manchester United in midweek, were unable to maintain their momentum and were forced to settle for a point against a resilient Sheffield United side.
Chelsea took the lead in the first half through Cole Palmer, but Sheffield United equalized before halftime through an own goal by Thiago Silva.
The second half saw both sides create chances, but it was Sheffield United who struck the next blow when Oli McBurnie scored in stoppage time to secure a dramatic draw.
Despite the disappointing result, Chelsea can take solace in the performance of Cole Palmer, who was once again instrumental in their attack.
The young midfielder has been in impressive form this season and his contributions will be crucial if Chelsea are to achieve their goals.
