Luton Town 1 Sheffield United 1: Oli McBurnie earns point for Blades with long-awaited goal
and live on Freeview channel 276
United were second best in the first half but an improved second-half display saw them earn a point, with Oli McBurnie scoring his first goal since late 2020 in front of a jubilant away end.
Here’s how the action unfolded ...
Luton v Blades LIVE
Half time
and the Blades trail - simply never got going in that half and haven’t been able to cope with Luton’s physicality and directness, which won’t have come as any surprise. Be very surprised if McAtee reappears after the break - let’s see...
Big chance for Adebayo
as he meets a cross from the right on the volley inside the area but gets far too much on it - United need to wake up here over half-time, if they get there still 1-0 behind
Lowe has a go
on the volley but it hits the roof of the stand rather than the net, which rather sums up United’s evening so far
Decent opening for Baldock
as he’s played in down the right, he looks to find the far corner and shoots across goal but doesn’t connect properly and it dribbles wide
McAtee sees yellow
for dragging back his man as he looked to break well inside his own half, seconds after McBurnie and then Ndiaye were wrestled all over by their markers as the high ball dropped
Norwood shoots
after a corner is worked to him on the edge of the box, he catches it so sweet on the volley and it looks to be haring somewhere close to goal before it’s blocked by some brave, brave defender - we’ll never know but what a goal that would have been
Baldock sees yellow
after going shoulder-to-shoulder with his man as Town looked to break, Baldock was simply stronger and won the challenge and the ref somehow blows up, compounding it by booking the Blades man
Goal Luton
and it’s Morris who puts them ahead, glancing a header perfectly home and out of the reach of Foderingham from a left-wing cross - not the start United needed here as we tick over the 10 minute mark
