​Chelsea fullback Chilwell: Sheffield Utd win showed great character

Chelsea left back Ben Chilwell admits his team showed great character to defeat Sheffield United.

The Blues had a tough time against these opponents last season.

However, they put them to the sword and managed a comfortable 4-1 win at home in the Premier League on Saturday, with Chilwell getting the second goal in the game.

He told the club's website after the game: "It would have been nice to get another clean sheet, but the way we reacted after the first goal showed the character in the team.

"Going 1-0 down against Sheffield United can be difficult, they're very resilient, and we knew it was going to be a challenge.

"So to get four goals after conceding shows great character."
