Events

Match Events

  • 0' Here we go! The referee blows the whistle and Sheffield United FC launch into their encounter with Derby County FC.
  • 5' Billy Sharp is a natural forward and has been asked to do a very specific job for Sheffield United FC tonight.
  • 10' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 15' It’s high time Frank Lampard made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 20' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 25' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Scott Carson suffering a number of foals already.
  • 28' Derby County FC player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
  • 32' Enda Stevens has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 32.
  • 37' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 37 minutes.
  • 41' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Billy Sharp makes it 1-0.
  • 45' That is a Yellow card for Sheffield United FC. Mark Duffy will be fuming at that decision.
  • 50' It looks like no one’s ball. Derby County FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 53' Against the run of play, Harry Wilson has scored! This game has turned on its head.
  • 54' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Richard Keogh.
  • 59' The 40-year-old Richard Keogh has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 64' A stunning finish from David McGoldrick — that came from absolutely nowhere!
  • 69' Fresh legs for Derby County FC! David Nugent comes on to replace Florian Jozefzoon.
  • 70' The supporters are chanting for George Evans. He replaces Tom Huddlestone on 70 minute.
  • 75' Oliver Norwood catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 75.
  • 80' Leon Clarke gets the nod from Sheffield United FC. He replaces Mark Duffy and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 82' Fikayo Tomori catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 82.
  • 84' Leon Clarke adds to his 0 season tally! Sheffield United FC lead 3-1 — and this changes everything.
  • 85' Fresh legs for Derby County FC! Martyn Waghorn comes on to replace Andre Wisdom.
  • 89' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Scott Carson.
  • Full Time. Sheffield United FC beats Derby County FC
