In the last moments of the second half, Ollie McBurnie scored, helping Sheffield United come back to tie 2-2 with Chelsea in the Premier League on Sunday.

Chelsea had won with two goals in stoppage time against Manchester United last Thursday. But Mauricio Pochettino’s team faced another setback at Bramall Lane, failing to hold onto their lead twice.

Thiago Silva, playing his 100th Premier League match, scored first in the 11th minute, tapping in Conor Gallagher’s corner with a volley that just made it past the post.

Noni Madueke put Chelsea ahead again in the 66th minute after Cole Palmer’s assist, and Palmer himself had a shot saved by Ivo Grbic.

Anel Ahmedhodzic made a crucial tackle to prevent Nicolas Jackson from increasing Chelsea’s lead, before McBurnie leveled the score for Sheffield by scoring from close range.
