Blades v Rovers LIVE

Khadra curls just wide

of goal - Foderingham was beaten all the way but he watches it go the right side of his post and it remains goalless

as a shot takes a nick off Norwood and deflects goalwards, but he adjusts and blocks it with his body

sees Sharp make way for McBurnie

FODERINGHAM SAVES IT, GETTING A STRONG HAND DOWN THE MIDDLE AND IT’S STILL 0-0! WHAT A ROAR INSIDE BRAMALL LANE!!

AS EGan is adjudged to have handled Khedra’s cross - his arm was up and it hit it, so he can have no complaints really,..

and the Blades are down to 10 men as Charlie Goode sees red for a challenge on Khedra - the ref quickly gets the red out and it looked a fair call to me, both live and after seeing the replays. United’s defensive woes deepen as he’ll be banned now, as well as missing the last 20+ minutes here

Lenihan rises highest

at a Rovers corner but he can’t get his header on target and it remains goalless - but United aren’t creating enough here and surely a change will come shortly

‘You’re not fit to referee'

rings around Bramall Lane as the ref gives a foul for, well, something in the middle of the park not long after turning down appeals for a penalty when Sharp’s cross hit a hand

twice in a matter of moments - first from Fleck’s long-range effort, his save somehow loops over three Blades men and from the follow up from Gibbs-White he saves again

from Khadra from the left is inches away from the boot of Gallagher as he comes sliding in - so close to 1-0
