Blades v Millwall LIVE
Ndiaye goes down
for some treatment, he’s having a stretch possibly for cramp in his hamstring but that’s understandably a concern ... but he’s OK to continue for now
Foderingham saves
as a header from a corner is deflected goalwards but the United stopper is there to save
Anel looks to curl one
sfter playing a one-two with Baldock, he has a go on his left foot but can’t get it on target - a sign of his growing confidence, however
Bit of a scramble
as Foderingham comes to claim a loose ball and doesn’t get all of it, a Millwall man goes down holding his head and another tries to volley home but after a bit of pinball it’s cleared
HALF TIME
and so far, so good for the Blades at the break - 2-0 ahead and could have been further ahead but for Norwood’s missed penalty, but it was a great save and not sure you can criticise Norwood for that (although some obviously will) - Millwall have barely had a kick in that half and United have been superb. Got to see the job through in the second half though
PENALTY Blades
and Brewster does superbly to win it, drawing the foul from Brewster ... Norwood steps up to take it and it’s SAVED, Bialkowski saves down to his right
Comfortable for Wes
as he gets up to claim a cross from the Millwall left, he’s been a spectator so far pretty much but showed good concentration there when he was called upon
