Sheffield United v Hull City: Live updates from Bramall Lane in crunch Yorkshire 'derby'

Paul Heckingbottom denied suggestions his side dropped two points at home to Hull City tonight, despite admitting the feeling was one of frustration after the goalless draw.

United could have gone level with sixth-placed Middlesbrough with victory over Shota Arveladze’s men, who travelled to Bramall Lane having lost all of their last three games.

But United couldn’t find a way past an obdurate visiting defence, with Oli McBurnie missing a number of chances and Iliman Ndiaye and Morgan Gibbs-White going close.

But for Heckingbottom it was “simply one of those nights”.

“It was a frustrating night for the obvious reasons,” the Blades boss said.

"It’s just the missed chances. It’s simply one of those nights. I didn’t realise how many we had until the guys doing the analysis showed me, and I stopped looking after five or six because it was getting me down.

"If we create that many at home, then we should be winning. But you can’t deserve the win when you missed the chances.

"It feels like a point dropped but we’re a point closer. It’s important, with the games cancelled, that we pick up points.

“From that respect it is a good point. From the way they tried to slow the game. We created chances but they weren’t just good enough to take them.

"We had plenty of opportunities and the moment you take one, the pattern of the game changes. If you don’t, then it’s set. That’s all it needed - just one of those moments.”

and it ends goalless - a frustrating evening for the Blades as they fail to find a way past Ingram in the away goal, despite a fair few chances for McBurnie and others.
