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.
9. Svante Ingelsson - 6
Involved right from the start. Acted as a target man and provided something for Wednesday to aim at. Got about the pitch and put himself about. Fell away as the game went on. | UGC
10. Jamal Lowe - 5
Pushed, harried and got about the Blades defence. Stifled going forward with very little in the way of chances. | UGC
11. Ike Ugbo - 4
Buzzed about first half but his performance drained. Some nice touches early doors. Received ironic jeers from a percentage of his own supporters both during the game and as he came off. Off at 72 minutes. | UGC
12. Liam Cooper - 5
Ushered on to make his debut just a few days on from hi signing after Iorfa's injury proved too much. Looked understandably rusty and his misdirected touch allowed for the game-decided second. | UGC
