Mansfield Town 3 Sheffield United 0 LIVE: Hiram Boateng gets his second as Stags extend lead over Blades

and the Blades slip to a second defeat in a matter of days - as much as managers and players say results don’t matter in pre-season, it’s surely a concern that the winning momentum built up early in the campaign is slipping away? Stay tuned for reaction from the manager, player ratings and more ...

and if the first two goals were preventable, there’s nothing the Blades could have done about that as Boateng finds the top corner for his second goal of the night

Arblaster, Fleck, Coulibaly, Jebbison ON

Berge, Osborn, Brewster, Norwood OFF

and it’s 2-0 with another goal from close range as Oates taps home from another Gale cross from the Mansfield left

and it’s Boateng who gets it, converting from close range after Gale found a lot of space down the left to pull it back - the Blades go behind at Field Mill

and what a freak that would have been as a defender’s clearance smashes off Berge and falls to Ndiaye, but his touch lets him down before he can shoot

for the Blades as Kyron Gordon goes down for some treatment and walks off gingerly

with a change at the break, RND on for Enda stevens down the left

and it’s goalless at the break - United with the better chances, Ndiaye twice being denied by Pym and Ahmedhodzic planting a free header wide of goal, but they haven’t found the breakthrough just yet

to meet a deep Osborn free-kick, but he can’t get it on target and it flies wide of Pym’s post

sees his shot saved after an intelligent pass from Brewster set him free, Pym again got a strong hand to it and it was hacked away by a defender despite Norwood’s best efforts to force it home

to head a right-wing cross, he gets a good connection but it’s wide of the goal

as Berge drives forward and finds Ndiaye with a lovely pass, the Senegal international lets fly and Pym does enough to palm it round the post

as Brewster goes down under the challenge of Harbottle, it would maybe have been a generous one but he was the right side of the defender and looked to shoot as he went down - nothing given though

from the Mansfield right almost results in a tap in for Akins, but it’s just out of his reach and Baldock taps it behind for a corner, which is cleared by the same man

as both sets of players take on some much-needed refreshment - it’s very muggy here in Mansfield and United have been the better of the two sides so far for me, without really penetrating that Mansfield back line and testing Pym in the home goal

to turn and lose Clark on the halfway line, he drives forward but shows too much of the ball to Ahmedhodzic who nicks it away calmly

from Ahmedhodzic sets Baldock free, but Pym is there in time to pick it up before the Blades right-back can get on the end of it
