Blades v Birmingham live from Bramall Lane
Good ball from Osborn
to Brewster down the left wing, he looks to smash in a cross for Sharp but it’s too close to Sarkic who claims and takes his time before punting long downfield
Berge draws the foul
from Castillo in a decent crossing position for the Blades, Norwood stands over it - it’s a routine off the training ground and falls to Osborn, who looks to hit it first time from outside the box and gets it badly wrong
Great cross from Berge
causes havoc in the visiting defence and Sharp can’t get much on it, Colin sweeps it behind for a corner which is easily claimed by Sarkic when it comes in
Brewster on the volley
as the free-kick is headed clear, but he can’t keep it down and it sails over the Brum crossbar
McBurnie comes on for
Burke, who’s put a real shift in tonight - a third and final sub for the Blades
Blades sub coming
up as McBurnie readies himself in the dugout, he doesn’t come on just yet as United defend a throw-in hurled in by Roberts and Ramsdale holds onto the flick on before sending Brewster clear, who is fouled by Colin
Norwood finds Baldock
again on the right wing and he creates a yard of space before his cross is half blocked, and Sarkic claims it easily enough under pressure from Sharp who was sniffing for a loose ball
Brewster is booked
after a late challenge on Gardner down by the touchline, ‘You’re not fit to referee’ sing the Kop as Roberts spurns a good chance as the resulting free-kick falls into his path
