This was United's 10th home win of an outstanding season and Wilder's side are a good bet to secure European football at Bramall Lane for the first time in their 130-year history. His strike partner McBurnie had scored United's second with a powerful header before half-time and substitute Lys Mousset should have made it four when he raced clear but clipped past the post. He then got a well-deserved second with 13 minutes to go as his driving run created an opening and he was in the right place to bury the loose ball. McGoldrick one of the best I've worked with - Wilder Mason Mount lost the ball for Chelsea, Kepa somehow kept out McBurnie's deflected volley but McGoldrick followed up to lash home the opening goal.
He will, however, be a very popular goalscorer among Blades fans who appreciate the hunger and work ethic he brings to every performance.Īnd, despite that lack of goals, his sharpness was in evidence when he pounced midway through the first half. McGoldrick was named Sheffield United's player of the year in 2019 as he scored 15 times in their successful promotion campaign, but until now has had no luck in front of goal in the Premier League. Action and reaction from Saturday's Premier League games.If Leicester City and Manchester United win their games in hand against Bournemouth and Southampton respectively, Champions League-chasing Chelsea, currently third, could find themselves in fifth when next in action against Norwich on Tuesday. Manager Chris Wilder has drawn many plaudits this season for Sheffield United's organisation and team ethic, their desire to keep the ball out of their net a telling contrast to the fragility of their illustrious visitors. The visitors had scored the most number of away goals in the Premier League before this match, including three at Crystal Palace in midweek, but never looked like adding to their tally. The damage was completed when McGoldrick capitalised on a dreadful defensive mix-up to plunder his second late in the second half. Chelsea's defence was shaky throughout and they were ruthlessly punished just 15 minutes later when Enda Stevens crossed and McBurnie was left completely unmarked in the six-yard box to power home a simple header.
