Comments:

League position: 9th The average age of Chelsea's starting line-up in this game was 24 years and 158 days; their youngest-ever for a game in the Premier League. English players had now scored the first six goals in a season in the Premier League for the Blues for the first time since 2011. Tammy Abraham became the first Englishman to score more than one goal in consecutive games in the Premier League for Chelsea since Frank Lampard in January 2010.

Comments:

League position: 8th Sheffield United had now scored in all four games on their return to the Premier League with all of the goals scored in the second-half. The Blades remained unbeaten in their away games since a 1-0 loss at Swansea City in the League Championship on 19 January 2019. They had now scored 50 goals in their 63 away games in the Premier League (conceded 108). When he came on as a substitute, Frenchman Lys Mousset became the first player from outside of the UK and Ireland to play for the Blades in this Premier League season.
