Safe to say it didn’t take the same route as his earlier header.

Burton 1 Blades 3 or 4 , tell yer !

 

[Tom Bott]

Early Blades pressure
It’s the visitors who have started better again.
O’Hara clings onto a McGoldrick header, then Nartey dives in to make a fine sliding challenge in the box on Stevens.
From the corner, Stearman wins the initial header and McGoldrick nods home - but he is offside.

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

Corner you say,Mmm.

There’s at least five Sheffield United players in green bibs getting ready to come on down in front of me. (him)

 

[Tom Bott]

Sheffield United subs
There’s, erm, lots of them. Mark Duffy, Phil Jagielka and Kieron Freeman among the seven to come on.

[Tom Bott]

A rare chance for the Brewers
Boyce wins the race onto a ball over the top.
It’s worked out left to Harness, and he swings a cross back in for Boyce, who can only glance his header off target.

Like it better when it says Crystal Palace getting stuffed at Bramall lane.

 

[10-0 win]

Robinson on for debut

 

[Tom Bott]

Blades skipper Sharp is making his way off, to be replaced by new signing Callum Robinson.

 

[Tom Bott]

Phil Jagielka is in the way, though.

 

[BiggerBladeThanThou]

I miss John Brayford.

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

Like it better when it says Crystal Palace getting stuffed at Bramall lane.

Its 5-2 now.

 

[Tom Bott]

There’s 1,991 supporters here tonight. Will they see a winning goal?

 

[Tom Bott]

Robinson goes on a mazy run from halfway, all the way to the byline to square it across goal for Leon Clarke.
The Blades striker is setting himself to fire home - but Hutchinson dives across and gets the faintest touch to take it off his boot.

Maupay would have buried that

 

[Tom Bott]

Hutchinson’s crucial touch to deny Clarke is now followed by Colin Daniel nipping Clarke’s cross off the boot of Robinson in front of goal.

 

[Tom Bott]

Maupay would have buried that

For more pay though.
