Sheffield United v Bournemouth: Manager reaction as Blades denied penalty in goalless draw

on for Sander Berge

as Christie’s cross is knocked down into his path, he had to snatch at it a little and puts it over the bar

sees Fleck replaced by Osborn

the Blades as MGW goes through one on one, but Travers comes out and makes himself big to block - in hindsight he could have gone over the ‘keeper but it’s easy to say from here

as Phillips goes down injured but he’s back on his feet now

as he challenges Billing who was looking to break through - Billing and his bench want a foul but nothing is given

as Gibbs-White’s cross finds Davies at the back post, he has a free header but maybe mistimed his jump a little and can’t get it on target

with no changes at the break for either side

AND it’s goalless at the break, although the Blades have gone closest to opening the scoring through Kelly hitting his own bar and then Gibbs-White forcing a save from Travers. Bournemouth have had their moments too, although the work done by Foderingham has been pretty routine by his standards and United can perhaps count themselves a touch unfortunate to not go in ahead at the break.

for MGW as he and McBurnie combine well, he hits the shot nicely but a strong hand from Travers tips it over and after the corner is cleared THAT’S HALF-TIME
