Sheffield United 1 Huddersfield Town 2: Colwill's injury-time winner seals it despite Billy Sharp's equaliser
United thought they had sealed a point when Billy Sharp equalised in injury time, before Levi Colwill tapped home from close range shortly after to continue Slavisa Jokanovic’s wait for a league win as Blades boss.
Sheffield United v Huddersfield LIVE
Brewster does well
to pressurise Sarr and nick the ball off him on the edge of his own box, the ball fell to McBurnie but he elects to pass backwards rather than turn goalwards, not that it’d have mattered anyway as the linesman’s flag went up for offside
McBurnie heads clear
and Baldock completes the clearance under pressue from Thomas, Huddersfield come again but the clipped cross is deflected and safely gathered by Foderingham
And we’re underway
with Brewster noticeably pressing more aggressively from the first whistle as a mistake from Basham lets in Town, Baldock gets back to clear the cross from the left and it’s an early Town corner
Here come the teams
as a loud chant of ‘We are Blades’ eminates from the Kop to greet the players as they emerge into the teeming rain
It’s absolutely hosing it down
at the Lane as the countdown to kick off gets underway - a big afternoon for the Blades as they look to get their league campaign up and running under their new manager and a chance for them to put things right after their 4-0 pumping at West Brom on Wednesday evening. Be interesting to see how Foderingham fares on his league debut for the Blades, while new boy Ben Davies also makes his bow in front of him...
A big day for this man
on his league debut for the Blades, replacing Michael Verrips between the posts with Aaron Ramsdale now an Arsenal player - be interesting to see how he goes
