Sheffield United suffered a rare defeat in their promotion push as they lost 1-0 to Millwall at The Den.

United pulled off another impressive result in midweek when they beat play-off rivals Blackburn Rovers in injury time, but Millwall halted their momentum to register their fourth straight victory.

Millwall v Sheffield United

on the volley after a long throw from Robinson is headed half-clear - he swings his left boot at it and connects well, but it’s high and flies over the home goal

Bennett’s race is run

as Mason Bennett goes down to receive some treatment inside his own half

a nice ball over the top to send Sharp free, he can’t get it under control and then gives away a cheap foul on Cooper but sticks a thumb up to acknowledge the good pass from his young teammate, who’s made a solid start to his league debut

to the game in the opening eight minutes or so - neither keeper has been really challenged yet but neither team look content with sitting back and passing it around for the sake of it

Early shot from McBurnie

but he doesn’t catch it right and it sails over the Millwall bar

Not long until kick-off now ...
