Fulham v Blades LIVE
Chance for the Blades
as Hourihane’s cross goes all the way to Basham at the back post, but it rebounds off him before he can control it and the chance goes begging
Robinson sees yellow
after Wilson pushed the ball past him and the Blades man gave him a nudge off balance, probably a fair decision and worth it to stop the dangerous wide man advancing
Mitrovic heads over
from Kebano’s cross, Robinson did just enough to put him off and the Serb plants his header high and wide
Awkward landing for Ream
as he goes over the top of ndiaye to win the header and hits the deck painfully, he’s back up now though
Subs at the break for either side
as Seri is replaced by Cairney, a former Blades target and Berge comes on for Gibbs-White
Half time
and the Blades lead 1-0, the natives around us in the Fulham end getting very restless but United good value for that, for me - Ndiaye’s stunner the difference so far, while Foderingham hasn’t been under too much pressure at the other end, although the Blades had a let off when Mitrovic fired wide after finding a yard of space from Egan. So far, so good for the Blades, then...
