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.
5. Max Lowe - 5
Again, a little hesitant in moments. Some nice touches going forward but a very stop-start outing. Part of a mix-up that let Ings in. Shot into the Kop rather summed-up Owls afternoon. | UGC
6. Harry Amass - 7
The shining light, in the first half in particular. Started really strongly in possession and set about his opposite man. Faded as the game went on and looked spent in the final stages. | UGC
7. Yan Valery - 4
A real - and rare - off day. Mugged in possession in a killer position to give away the vital first goal. Put himself about but generally looked sloppy in possession. | UGC
8. Barry Bannan - 5
Sought to get things moving and got plenty of touches but little came off as Wednesday spluttered in possession. | UGC
