Sheffield United 1-2 Chelsea: Blues claim third win in a row as Jorginho's penalty spares Antonio Rudiger's blushes after his calamitous own goal cancelled out Mason Mount opener

Jorginho scored from a penalty to give Chelsea a 2-1 victory at Sheffield United on Sunday, extending the team's revival under Thomas Tuchel.

It's now three wins and a draw since Tuchel replaced the fired Frank Lampard, lifting Chelsea to fifth place. The Blades remain in last place, 12 points from safety.

Mason Mount opened the scoring in the 43rd minute, tucking away Timo Werner's cutback and finding the bottom corner of the net.

But the hosts leveled eight minutes into the second half when Chelsea defender Antonio Rudiger poked the ball past his own goalkeeper.
