Chelsea had moved up to fifth in the Premier League after its 2-1 victory over Sheffield United today.

Chelsea then conceded the first goal when Antonio Rudiger poked past Edouard Mendy into his own net.

Coming after Liverpool’s 4-1 defeat by leaders Manchester City, the win put Chelsea’s Champions League ambitions back on track after they had slipped to ninth.
