The Blades had fallen behind to a Mason Mount goal just before the break but were given a route back into the match when Chelsea defender Antonio Rüdiger scored a comedic own goal.

However, United’s joy from that was short-lived as just a few minutes later, Kean Bryan’s under-hit back pass to Aaron Ramsdale was cut out by Timo Werner and the keeper brought down the Blues forward in the box.

Referee Kevin Friend initially waved play on but eventually he was told to go and look at the monitor and made the call to award a spot kick which Jorginho slotted home.

United were unable to cause too many problems up front after that, despite at one point having four strikers on the pitch and the match finished wth Chelsea going home comfortable 2-1 winners.
