Chelsea extended their unbeaten run to seven games on Sunday, but a 93rd minute Oliver McBurnie equaliser ensured they were held 2-2 by relegation-threatened Sheffield United,

Mauricio Pochettino’s side took the lead through a Thiago Silva header in the first-half before being pegged back by Jayden Bogle, who fired an unexpected shot past Djordje Petrovic in the 32nd minute.

Chelsea, who used a 3-4-2-1 system in possession, were unable to break down a resolute Sheffield United defence until Noni Madueke struck in the 66th minute after cutting inside onto his stronger left foot and powering an effort into the roof of the net.

The Blues looked destined for three points, but they failed to deal with a late Sheffield United attack and McBurnie netted a last-gasp equaliser after a flick-in from substitute Cameron Archer.

As a result, the Blues are now ninth in the Premier League table, three points behind Newcastle United in eighth, albeit with a game in hand.

It is the second time in three games in which Chelsea have suffered a 2-2 draw against a newly-promoted, relegation-threatened side following their awful result versus Burnley on 30 March.

Both games saw Chelsea lead on two occasions before being pegged back, while they maintained the vast majority of possession in the two games as well.

Against Burnley, Chelsea enjoyed 69% possession and mustered 33 shots on goal, but their effectiveness was even worse during the draw at Bramall Lane. In fact, Chelsea were outplayed despite having far more of the ball.

Sheffield United only had 33% possession versus the Blues, but they produced more shots (11 to six) and more shots on target (six to three) than the away side.

Pressure on Pochettino remains rife and a lacklustre display against a poor Sheffield United side has ensured that fans have urged their club to sack the former Tottenham Hotspur boss.

The 4-3 win over Manchester United saw scenes of jubilation at Stamford Bridge due to the dramatic nature of it, but Chelsea nearly threw a 2-0 lead away and could easily have come away empty-handed against Erik ten Hag’s side.

The Blues owners are adamant that Pochettino deserves time to build their current project, however the Argentine has an extremely talented squad at his disposal and yet Chelsea look remarkably average.
