Premier League giants Chelsea, in the last round of home and Manchester United goal shootout, with Palmer's injury time dominance performance, 4-3 to defend the glory of Stamford Bridge, after two days of rest, Pochettino led the team away to challenge the bottom of the table Sheffield United, the latter has been demoralized recently, the last six rounds of games have only achieved 2 draws and 4 losses, both in terms of overall strength and team morale, there is a huge gap with the Blues, which is why fans are unanimously optimistic that Chelsea can take away the victory from the away side before the gameHowever, after the start of the game, Sheffield United, playing at home, caused a lot of trouble for the luxurious Blues, and when Chelsea took the lead twice, they equalized the score twice, and finally drew 2-2 with Chelsea, making the latter's pride a laughing stock!
Pochettino, who led the team away from home, followed his favourite 4-2-3-1 formation, Petrovic started the game and guarded the goal for the Blues, Disasi, Silva, Chalobah and Cucurella sat in the back, Enzo Fernandez and Caicedo partnered in the back, Gallagher in the middle of the midfield, Palmer and Madueke on the wings, and Jackson as the single arrow.
As the referee's whistle blew, Chelsea turned against the crowd and firmly controlled the ball at their feet, but the high possession rate did not translate into a dangerous attack, and the Blues only completed three shots in the first 45 minutes, one of which hit the target, while the passive vice-captain Sheffield United counter-attack played impressively, and four shots were within the woodwork.
Chelsea didn't have much to do against Sheffield United's bucket formation, but they did take advantage of set-pieces in the 11th minute to upset the balance of the pitch when the 39-year-old Thiago Silva shook off a defender and slotted home from inside the box to give the Blues a 1-0 lead.
However, Chelsea's papier-mâché defense quickly paid the price, in the 32nd minute, Hammer sent a through kick at the edge of the penalty area, directly through the crotch of Mr. Caicedo, and Cucurella also completely missed his own marking of Jaden Borg, allowing the latter to score from a small angle, helping Sheffield United return to the dressing room with a 1-1 score.
Chelsea continued to press Sheffield United back on the pitch and took the lead again in the 66th minute, when Palmer dribbled forward in the middle and then passed the ball to Madueke on the right, who had previously underperformed Maduekei and fired a shot back to make it 2-1.
In the following time, both teams created a lot of good attacking opportunities on the field, and in stoppage time, Sheffield United's onslaught finally paid off, and in the 93rd minute, McBurney received a header from a teammate and fired a low shot to make it 2-2!
For Chelsea, this season's Premier League has lost its relevance, with the FA Cup title being their only goal, and the Blues will play Manchester City in the semi-finals, but with Chelsea's current performance, it will be difficult to knock Manchester City out of the FA Cup!
