Oli McBurnie’s stoppage-time equaliser earned Sheffield United a 2-2 draw with Chelsea, who led twice
Just one chaos free day at work, is that too much to ask? For Mauricio Pochettino, the answer, it seems, is a resounding “yes”. Around the cornerIt appeared, as Bramall Lane began to empty, that a largely tepid performance would at least bring the result Pochettino required against. Then Chelsea stuttered. Again. Even having led twice against a side relegated in all but ceremony. Even having – courtesy of Noni Madueke’s second-half strike – been within two stoppage time minutes of three points.
“Watching football, as a 52-year-old, you identify very quickly when a team is ready to compete or not. Today that happened. Maybe because this group is not mature enough to compete every single game, every three days.” “I think a draw was a fair result if you analyse the game,” Pochettino admitted. “At the end, we didn’t show the capacity to be solid, to be strong. That is the most painful thing.”
Silva’s goal was met not with visceral discontent, but by a meek grumble from home fans. They know the script too well. Loved ones in and around the city will have received messages saying that match attendees would likely return home earlier than planned.Cole Palmer – moved centrally to accommodate Madueke – did his utmost to get Chelsea going. There were some brilliant flashes, but nothing quite stuck.
