EPL: Chelsea secure crucial 2-0 win against Sheffield United

Chelsea secured a crucial 2-0 win against Sheffield United on Saturday, after a winless run in their last four Premier League games.

The win also marks Chelsea’s first back-to-back home league victories since October 2022, offering relief to Mauricio Pochettino amidst a challenging season.

The first half saw a lackluster performance from Chelsea, managing just one shot on target.

However, Palmer’s impactful contribution after the break transformed the game. Raheem Sterling’s forward ball resulted in Palmer converting a low ball from six yards, breaking the deadlock.
