Stoke City v Blades LIVE
Gibbs-White shoots wide
after good build up play from Baldock with Berge involved too, the ref spots a deflection and it’s a corner ... which the goalkeeper comes and claims comfortably
Free-kick Blades
as MGW is fouled as he pushed the ball past his man - a decent crosing position, with Norwood Fleck and Berge standing over it - Berge steps away and Fleck takes it but it’s too heavy and evades everyone
Corner Blades
as Egan’s ball over the top sets RND free, he’s tackled and the ball trickles out for a corner .... which is headed just about clear by a Stoke defender, it flashed across the face of goal but rolls out for a throw on the far side
Another let off
as a poor pass in midfield from Norwood gives the ball away, it’s worked to Brown in space down the right but he can’t get it on target once again
Big chance
for Gibbs-White as he’s sent clear, he twists and turns his marker and then pokes wide of the post
Let off for Robinson
as he’s robbed in a poor area, Brown elects to shoot rather than pass and it goes over the bar to keep it 0-0
A break in play
as a pass from Berge deflects off a Stoke player and absolutely smashes ref David Webb in the mush, he goes down and receives a bit of treatment from the Stoke physios but he’s back on his feet now
Almost a chance for Gibbs-White
as he takes the ball from Fleck on the turn, nutmegs Wilmot and is then challenged by Thompson - another Blades corner, which comes to nothing
