David McGoldrick broke his Premier League duck with two goals as Sheffield United dented Champions League-chasing Chelsea with a 3-0 victory at Bramall Lane.

McGoldrick benefitted from static Chelsea defending to end his 25-game wait for a top-flight goal with a close-range rebound after a Kepa Arrizabalaga save on 18 minutes.

Oliver McBurnie’s clinical header punished more poor Chelsea defending on 33 minutes before the Blades secured another huge victory for their bid for European qualification when McGoldrick completed his double 13 minutes from time.
