Blades v Millwall LIVE
Gary Rowett on Blades’ first goal
“To go 1-0 down so early was really disappointing. It was a clear foul on Jake Cooper, Ndiaye gives him a little nudge.
“I spoke to David (Coote, the referee) afterwards and he told me there’s a clear directive to allow more contact. That’s fair enough but, for me, that contact has to be a fair challenge rather than impeding the defender who is trying to come out.”
FULL TIME
and the Blades are off the mark for the season with a 2-0 victory over Millwall at the Lane - it could have been more and it could have been more comfortable at times as Millwall threw bodies forward but it’s three points for the Blades. Stay tuned for more reaction, player ratings and much more!
Some handbags
between RND and McNamara off the ball - did the ref see what happened I wonder? Both men see yellow anyway
Afobe on the volley
but it’s wide, Clark headed away a cross but only as far as Afobe who shoots on the volley but can’t get it on target from the edge of the box
Osborn heads just wide
after getting to Sharp’s cross ahead of teammate RND, he jumps highest but can’t get his header on target
Jebbison has a go
after Anel won back the ball and he drove towards goal, he elects to go himself and drags his shot wide
Anel does brilliantly
to get across and block Bennett’s shot as he looked to race away and score, but the big defender stuck out a leg and blocked it behind
