Blades v Reading - Match Highlights

[Fulwood Blade]

It was a penalty for me having watched the replay a few times.

Stearman puts his left arm across the Reading players face - for sure, he makes a meal of it, but defo penalty for me - Stearman impedes the Reading player.

I agree, I think it was a penalty also. Anywhere else on the pitch and you’d expect that to be given so there’s no reason it shouldn’t have been given inside the box. I think we would have been asking for the penalty had it been the other way around.

Knill reaction:

Another masterstroke from CW to let AK deal with the post-match interview.
I like to imagine CW saying to him "Alan, you take this one - I'm off to praise the players."

Apparently they were expecting us to give them the ball back from a throw in after one of their players feigned injury.

Any footage of that anywhere as the Sky Sports highlights only show the (long, pinpoint accurate) pass and goal?

I hope it will be in the extended highlights later.

The importance of the overlap

Without O'Connell's forward run to create the space, we don't score this goal...



The first defender is wrong-footed by the overlap, the second defender has had to track O'Connell:-



Half a yard to run into. Bang!

Going to go against everyone here. He throws his arm across the players throat to impede him - foul and penalty. No need to do it, he wouldn’t have got past him. It’s a common defensive tactic you’ll often get away with but a foul if seen and the ref is directly in line.

No problem Moore saved and comfortable win for the Blades.

Agree mate. Silly challenge.
