Left horrendously exposed for Newcastle’s three first-half goals but prevented it being even worse with two decent stops in one-on-one situations, and another to tip Gordon’s deflected shot over the bar in injury time. It became even worse in the second half but it’s hard to apportion much blame to Foderingham given the level of protection he was offered in front of him placeholder image

Sheffield United slumped to an undoubted low point of their season so far when they were smashed 8-0 at home to Newcastle United this afternoon.

The Blades had hoped to catch Eddie Howe’s side at a good time after their midweek Champions League exploits in Milan but were 3-0 down inside 35 minutes and shipped five more in the second half.

With their goal difference taking a thumping, United fell to the bottom of the Premier League table - having not been in the bottom three before this weekend - and will have to pick themselves up off the canvas ahead of next weekend’s trip to West Ham United.

Here’s how our man scored United’s players, with some of the lowest ratings ever dished out on an embarrassing afternoon at Bramall Lane...

Came off the bench to replace Norwood but was statuesque for Newcastle’s sixth as Almiron glided past him to smash past Foderingham. Then a poor header gave Isak the chance to run at Robinson and finish past Foderingham for 8-0
