Chelsea put 4 past Sheffield United

Three of Chelsea's new signings were on the scoresheet but it was another summer recruit who stole the show in west London on Saturday.

Ziyech, who picked up two assists, showed his quality with countless deliveries into the box from set-pieces and a range of exquisite passing.

He was involved in the build-up to the opening goal and his deep cross caused Ramsdale problems minutes later and the ball was parried into the path of Werner, who slid in to smash it on to the crossbar.

Another ball in from Ziyech - almost identical to the previous one - bounced in off Chilwell after Ramsdale failed to deal with it to make it 2-1, and the Moroccan's free-kick was then nodded in by Silva.

The midfielder could have set up a few more too. His sublime ball through to Werner was chipped inches wide by the former RB Leipzig man, who gave a big thumbs up to Ziyech in return.

Manager Frank Lampard was full of praise for Ziyech afterwards, describing the 27-year-old's performance as "amazing".

"He was probably at his best today," Lampard told BBC Sport. "He has a good confidence and arrogance about him - a good arrogance. He will keep trying those passes and keep trying to get those assists."
