Sheffield United v Crystal Palace LIVE
Key Events
- Palace went ahead after just over a minute through Benteke
Almost 2-0
to Palace as Eze robs Basham on the halfway line and cuts inside to go himself this time, he looks to go across Ramsdale and find the bottom corner but it goes the other side of the post
Superb from Ramsdale
as he keeps out Benteke’s header from about six yards out with a strong left hand, he shouldn’t really have had a chance of saving it but he does brilliantly to do so and keeps it at 0-1
Berge’s cross
takes a wicked deflection off Cahill and it’s a Blades corner on the left, which comes to nothing
Baldock is alert
to the danger as Zaha looks to get in behind, he pokes the ball behind for a Palace corner which Ramsdale claims easily enough after it was played short
Booking for Ward
as he catches Fleck in his follow-through after winning the ball in a challenge, it looks a painful one for Scot and Ward sees yellow
Ramsdale saves
well as Benteke, I think it was, deflects a well-struck shot from range goalwards - but Ramsdale holds on gratefully
Bryan is penalised
for what at first glance looked a great challenge on Eze - replays back that up, too, and for the life of me I cannot understand why that is a foul
