The Blades conceded a spot kick in the early stages of that clash, only to see the decision overturned after a VAR intervention.
Chris Wilder’s men weren’t as fortunate a second time, however, and Declan Rice stepped up to convert from 12 yards just before half-time.
That penalty was the fourth that United have conceded in the Premier League this season – the ninth-highest in the division.
It isn’t all doom and gloom, however with the Blades scoring three times from the spot themselves.
