Blades v Derby LIVE from the Lane
Chance for Stevens
as Baldock’s low cross goes all the way across goal into the path of his fellow wing-back, who hits it first time but is leaning back as he does so and smashes it halfway up the Kop
Huge chance
for the Blades as Gibbs-White’s cross finds Ndiaye in acres of space but he plants his header wide of goal
Shouts for a penalty
as Ndiaye is bundled over by Shinnie when he’s about to shoot, and then impeded again on the floor - would have been soft for my money on first glance
Lawrence shoots
from outside the box and it’s spilled by Olsen, but thankfully not to the Derby man who was lurking and the goalkeeper gathers at the second attempt
Ndiaye shoots
after a neat one-two with Gibbs-White, it’s deflected narrowly wide for a corner on the right, which Fleck takes but Allsop claims that easily enough
