Chelsea fell behind inside 10 minutes with Sheffield United taking the lead through a smart flick by David McGoldrick.

With all that covered, let us take a look at the five talking points from this game.
#5 Tammy Abraham still has a crucial role to play
Tammy Abraham was Chelsea's top scorer in the league last season and played a huge role in helping Chelsea finish in the top four. This season though has been a very different one for the England striker.
With the many talented players Chelsea bought this summer, Abraham has had to wait for his chance. The 23-year-old was given a start today and he got the all-important equalizer for his team. He had also scored the third goal in the 3-3 draw against West Brom in September.
His role might be limited this season but do not write off Tammy Abraham. He is a fox in the box and might play a huge role this season.
#4 Chelsea's kryptonite David McGoldrick
It's not always when David McGoldrick scores in the Premier League but it seems to come every time he plays against Chelsea. 75% of David McGoldrick's Premier League goals have come against Chelsea.
McGoldrick scored a brace last season when Chelsea visited Bramall Lane. His only other Premier League goal has come against another London club. It was in October when he scored against Arsenal, but that too was in a lost cause.
