Coventry v Blades LIVE
Free-kick Blades
inside the Cov box as Moore is penalised for a pass back - the Coventry players line up on the goalline and one of them, impossible to see who, blocks well as Hourihane’s shot heads for the far corner
Good save Wes
to tip Gyokeres’ shot wide, he’d turned Egan inside and looked to find the far corner with a nice curling effort but Foderingham was across and tipped it wide at full stretch- good save
Game’s just gone a little
scrappy in the last few minutes, with misplaced passes coming into it more and more - United will hope to try and reclaim a bit of control in the last 15 minutes or so of this first half
Hourihane has a go
from the left after the ball was touched back into his path, he strikes it cleanly but it flashes wide
Goal Coventry
and it’s a real basic one to concede - a long ball forward, Robinson misses his header and Gyokeres finishes past Foderingham for 1-1
GOAL BLAAADES!
and it’s Berge who gets it with a top quality header from Hourihane’s cross - it twice flashed across the face of goal but Hourihane’s bit of quality picked out the big man in the middle and he found the top corner with a good planted header for 1-0!
Great defending from Clarke-Salter
prevents a tap in for Gibbs-White after a good run and cross from Sharp - the Wolves loanee was ready to tap in but the Coventry man was on hand to poke it behind and the corner comes to nothing
Good crossing chance
for Norrington-Davies as Berge and Hourihane work it wide, but he balloons it over the bar
