Postmatch editorial
Neither side managed to pull the match clear
The final score was Sheffield United 2-2 Chelsea. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
The late equaliser came from Oliver McBurnie 90+3', which kept the game level at the finish.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Sheffield United led Shots on target 6-3, even though the scoreboard went another way. Chelsea also shaded Possession 32%-68%.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Chelsea the favourite at 69.9% implied probability. That market lean missed.
