The Blades went ahead through David McGoldrick, but the Blues hit back through Tammy Abraham, Ben Chilwell, Thiago Silva and Timo Werner to go third in the league.

United found €40 million man Hakim Ziyech too hot to handle, while £50m man Werner continued his good run of scoring form since a summer move to the Premier League from Red Bull Leipzig.

And the former England international Lampard admitted: "That was our best performance of the season so far for sure.

"We're in a good place, but the level of Liverpool and Manchester City means you have to be in that good place every week.

"That's the gap we have to close so I won't get carried away with that."

The Blades return to Premier League action against West Ham, after the international break.
