Following an unconvincing start to the season, Chelsea have put together an excellent run of form.Frank Lampard’s side are unbeaten in the Premier League since losing 2-0 to Liverpool on September 20 and currently sit third in the table following back-to-back wins over Burnley and Sheffield United.The Blues found themselves a goal behind against Sheffield United when David McGoldrick broke the deadlock in the ninth minute at Stamford Bridge.But the hosts were 2-1 up at half-time thanks to goals from Tammy Abraham and Ben Chilwell.Thiago Silva and Timo Werner then added gloss to the scoreline late on, with the impressive Hakim Ziyech at the heart of the action.Another player who caught the eye was Reece James.
The right-back, who has been in fine form in recent weeks, produced several eye-catching moments during the match.Chelsea fans also spotted how James gave Thiago Silva a rendition of his chant after the Brazilian’s goal.James could be seen shouting: “Oooh, Thiago Silva!” as Chelsea players celebrated with the summer signing.Watch the video here…
That’s superb.
You can see the team spirit currently oozing through Lampard’s side.
James also impressed Chelsea fans with this nifty bit of footwork before Ziyech’s fantastic skill on the right wing…
While Sky Sports pundit Graeme Souness particularly enjoyed watching the 20-year-old ‘rag doll’ Max Lowe…
"In Reece James, he's a top player,” Souness said. "Given his age, he's going to get better and better.
"I've not talked about his strength, his pace, his delivery, and in terms of defending he looks like he's got that already.
"So you can only see him getting better and better.
"I asked Ash [Ashley Cole] off-air 'how strong is he?' and there's an incident if you see the third goal where it's a free-kick by Ziyech out by the right-hand side and Max Lowe comes in, fouls him - so it is a foul and there's a bit of a coming together and he just rag-dolls him, pushes him like a little boy."
