Sheffield United produce best display of the season

Image
Sheffield United 3 - 1 Coventry City Sheffield United delivered one of their most impressive performances of the season, outclassing Frank Lampardā€™s Coventry City at Bramall Lane to reclaim top spot in the Championship. Author - Tom Parker Stadium - Bramall Lane Former Coventry midfielder Gus Hamer opened the scoring with a superb free-kick, before top scorer Tyrese Campbell doubled the lead before half-time, netting his 11th goal of the season. Rhian Brewster, fresh from his match-winning goal in the Steel City derby before the international break, sealed the victory with a composed finish in the second halfā€”his first goal at Bramall Lane since January 2022. Coventryā€™s miserable evening was softened slightly by a late consolation from substitute Jack Rudoni, who scrambled the ball home from close range.

They are seven points clear...

Author - Phil Flanagan Stadium - Hillsborough The win also sealed Unitedā€™s first league double over their city rivals since the 2005-06 season and delivered a blow to the Owls' play-off hopes. The match was tense, with both sides desperate for points to strengthen their promotion bids. United keeper Michael Cooper made a crucial first-half save to deny Michael Smith, while a vital block from Harrison Burrows prevented Josh Windass from putting Wednesday ahead after the break. The defeat leaves Wednesday six points adrift of the play-off spots with eight games remaining, despite their recent resurgence with back-to-back away wins. Home form has been a major issue for Wednesday all season. They have the second-worst record in the division at Hillsborough, while United have been the C...
