It’s been a different story for Sheffield United so far, though, with Chris Wilder’s side taking just one point from their opening seven games. Furthermore, the Blades have only scored three goals in total and desperately need a result to kickstart their season. Follow all the action below live:

Chelsea climb to third with that result, so Lampard will enjoy the international break. His side travel to Newcastle in a couple of weeks time, while Sheffield United, after an unenviable run of fixtures, host West Ham next.

Full-time

Jon Moss brings the game to a close. It’s another impressive victory for Chelsea, even more so because they fell behind early on. Ziyech was superb, and Lampard’s side are starting to look like a really well-balanced and consistent outfit. Sheffield United remain bottom, with just a single point from eight games.

Brilliant again from Ziyech! He sprays an inch-perfect pass over the top for Werner to run onto. The German tries to lift his finish over the onrushing Ramsdale, but guides it just wide.
