16’: Antony takes a shot at goal, not enough power on it, easy save for Foderingham.
17’: Antony fires wide by a lot.
21’: Onana is down. Medics looking at him. Looks like he’s going to stay in for the moment.
24’: SAVE! Cameron Archer fires from distance through the legs of Maguire but Onana is alert and keeps it out!
28’: GOAL MAN U!! Scott McTominay chests the ball up in the air, somehow adjusts to make the volley, it deflects and takes the keeper flat-footed!

51’: Sheffield United substitution: Rhian Brewster on for Oli McBurnie who comes off gingerly

55’: Mixup in the back for Sheffield United! Foderingham and Trusty don’t link up and Rashford takes the pass, but the shot from Højlund is saved.

That game was not worth the impact it had on Saturday night traffic on the Sheffield ring road
Important win
First half was a disgrace. Couldn’t keep the ball to save our life.
2nd half we dominated but still look so flat and unimaginative in front of goal. Playing Fernandes & McTominay together is the easiest way to constantly lose the ball, hope we never do it again.
Maguire’s win percentage 📈
If Sheff Utd could play against the bad teams as well as they play against the good teams (Newcastle aside) they would not be in the bottom three.
The NEW new new new new new new new worst game ever
Set flairs off at 2-1 up btw
Also I swear we have been stuck in this exact game for the entire season. If we ever manage to hold on after equalizing I will blow a gasket
What a win! Ten Hag is going to destroy Guardiola next week.
