Scunthorpe United 3 Sheffield United 2 LIVE: Iliman Ndiaye and Rhian Brewster cut deficit

and the Blades suffer their first defeat of pre-season, going down 3-2 at Scunthorpe United - a bit of a comeback makes the scoreline look a bit more respectable but going 3-0 down at the break certainly won’t have formed part of the plan. Stay tuned for reaction from the manager and more

and it’s Ndiaye who gets the second, finding the bottom corner with a neat left-footed effort after fashioning the chance himself - 78 minutes gone

and it’s the first-touch combination of new boys Baldock and Brewster who get it after coming on, Baldock’s great cross right on the head of Brewster who heads into the top corner for3-1

Brewster, Osborn, Berge, Gordon, Baldock, Clark come on for Broadbent, Jebbison, Coulibaly, Robinson, Egan, Fleck

a deflected shot as Iron go looking for a fourth after a period of dominance from the Blades - corner to the hosts which Jebbison just about flicks away for a throw in on the other side

finds Lowe at the back post but he couldn’t get his effort on target - much to his obvious frustration

after good work from Ndiaye to win the ball back high up the pitch

sees Ollie Norwood replace Arblaster, a decent afternoon’s work for the highly-rated young midfielder before he made way

again prevents Lowe getting United on the scoreboard as it’s worked from right to left involving Arblaster and Fleck, Lowe shoots and Dewhurst saves before Jebbison attempts to flick home and gets it wrong

as Broadbent’s cross drops kindly for him, but it’s high, wide and not so handsome and threatens the top of the stand more than the top corner

after a good forward run from Arblaster sets him up, it’s on his left and outside the box but he hits it well and Dewhurst has to give it his full attention

sees Ndiaye come on for Osula

and as much as PH may insist results don’t matter in pre-season, he won’t have been pleased to see his side go three down in the first half - the loss of Chris Basham to injury may bother him more though and we’ll wait to see what changes are made at the break

saves from close range with his body as Jebbison looks to poke the ball past him with the outside of his foot

and Daniel gets his second, another left wing cross and Daniel heads home. Oh dear

as Basham limps off with an injury, Ahmedhodzic is on to replace him

and the home fans behind the goal sing ‘Championship, you’re having a laugh’ as Beestin finishes off a decent move which saw Butterfield spread the ball nicely over Broadbent’s head to the left wing and the cross found the unmarked Beestin to finish comfortably. Not going to plan, this one, it’s fair to say for United
