Match Report

Chelsea got back to winning ways with a 2-0 victory over Sheffield United thanks to second-half goals from Cole Palmer and Nicolas Jackson at Stamford Bridge.

Palmer opened the scoring after 54 minutes after bursting onto Raheem Sterling's cross in the box, with his goal surviving a VAR check.

Seven minutes later, Jackson doubled the Blues' lead with a tap-in after some scrappy play in the box, bagging his first goal in over a month.

The result saw Mauricio Pochettino's men leapfrog Fulham into the top half and keep their first clean sheet in the Premier League since October 2.

Sheffield United remain rooted to the bottom of the table.
