Scunthorpe v Blades LIVE
Jebbison has a go
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
That’s half time
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
Dewhurst again
saves from close range with his body as Jebbison looks to poke the ball past him with the outside of his foot
2-0 Iron
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
Lowe’s cross is blocked behind
for a corner, and Arblaster trudges over to take it - it’s headed away and comes to nothing second time around
