A Tyrese Campbell double and a deflected effort for Tom Cannon gave the Blades a second Hillsborough win in as many seasons. The win cuts’ United’s gap to the safety spots to three points.
After an energetic start, Wednesday fell flat and were largely nullified on the day. The game finished without the Owls registering a shot on target.
Here are our player ratings as threadbare Wednesday bombed-out in the Steel City derby.
1. Ethan Horvath - 4
Made a good save to save blushes on a mix-up Ings chance on 10 minutes. Was as good as it got in truth. Could perhaps have done a great deal better for the first two goals. | UGC
2. Sean Fusire - 5
Couple of nervous touches early doors and never quite settled. A couple of purple patches going forward. One heavy touch led to a Blades chance. Off after 55 minutes in a reshuffle. | UGC
3. Liam Palmer - 5
Difficult start but edged his way back into it. Didn't close down for the third. | UGC
4. Dominic Iorfa - 4
Battled through an early back issue but looked hesitant. A couple of hairy moments in possession. Carded on 36 minutes and came off 10 minutes or so later. | UGC
