Neither side arguably did enough to win the game, with Wes Foderingham making a number of saves that he will think of as comfortable while Simon Moore in the away goal wasn’t tested until late in the game.
Here’s how we rated United’s players at Bramall Lane.
Maybe got away with one in the second half when O'Hare went down in the box under his challenge, but the ref booked him for diving instead. Otherwise had timed his challenges, particularly headers against Gyokeres, very well up to that point. Photo: Simon Bellis
Some decent moments, some not so great. Delivery sometimes a threat from the left, including when Dabo was forced into some superb defending under pressure from Sharp, but also showed some sloppy moments. Replaced by Osborn with a few minutes left Photo: Simon Bellis
Had an early sight of goal against his old club when he nutmegged his man and looked to find the bottom corner, but curled it wide. Showed some promising moments but also frustrating ones, with his first touch sometimes taking him into trouble. Perhaps missed Norwood alongside him. Photo: Simon Bellis
Came in for the suspended Norwood and looked visibly frustrated at himself with every misplaced pass - which were invariably the right idea, but the wrong execution. Booked in the first half for dragging back his man. Was inches away from scoring a stunner in the second half as his effort whistled wide Photo: Simon Bellis
