The Owls were able to scrap out an even first half, shading the play and going in goalless. But Tyrese Campbell’s poked winner from the second phase of a set piece proved enough to turn the game in United’s favour, Wednesday unable to create a great deal against what is to date one of the most successful defensive units in the division.
Squeezed out on the day, the defeat stretches Wednesday’s goalless run in derby clashes to four matches and pushes them into the final international break of the year in the 15th place.
Here are our ratings from a nip-and-tuck defeat at Bramall Lane.
13. Djeidi Gassama - 7
On midway through the second half. Immediately into the action, raising a shot that squirted wide. Turned the Blades around with his threat with the ball at feet but just couldn't muster that moment. | UGC
14. Anthony Musaba - N/A
On with 15 minutes or so to go. Burst into proceedings, careering into the Blades box with a bit of danger. Lost his footing in a vital moment late on. | UGC
