Chelsea dominated the early possession against Sheffield United, but we always knew the Blades were going to be dangerous, and they’ve just scored to take the lead.
Mason Mount has been the fall-guy for most fans, as he tried to dribble out of his own area to start a counter attack rather than just clearing the ball.
It seems a little unfair, as it was actually a catalogue of errors. Mount gives up the chance to begin with, but then the central defenders fail to clear the cross, Kepa fails to hold the shot, Reece James plays everyone onside and the defenders are slow to react once again as David McGoldrick reacted to score.
They’ve now scored their second, and it will be a tough battle back from here.
If you’re in the UK, you can see the highlight in the clip here:
David McGoldrick is finally a Premier League goalscorer!
He puts the hosts a goal up against Chelsea!

Mason Mount made a mistake by trying to dribble past an opponent practically inside our box and some are saying that Jorginho and Kepa could've done better there. Can't be serious.#SHUCHE

"Sometimes playing simple football is the best way of playing football"
Mason Mount should be clearing that ball at the first place! Simple things male a big difference

"[He] will be disappointed there Mason Mount" that's it. For blindly turning and dribbling out of your 18yrd box and being dispossessed which leads to a goal against your team. That's all the commentators say.
