Sheffield United vs Newcastle LIVE: Result and reaction from Premier League fixture tonight

Sheffield United are certainly the more threatening of the teams so far. They win another corner on the left, which is headed clear. Newcastle are doing very little of note at the other end of the pitch.

The game is quite open at the moment, as first Lundstram and then Fraser burst down their respective left flanks. Neither can create anything, but the spaces are there for both sides.

Half a chance again for the hosts. McGoldrick fires an excellent diagonal ball out to Lundstram, whose attempted header across the box is blocked. It lands at Lundstram’s feet, and he drills a shot off target from a tight angle.

Close! It’s a swift, flowing move from Sheffield United, who play a succession of one-touch passes to set McGoldrick into the box. He opens his body up and tries to place the ball low into the bottom left corner. But Darlow sticks out a strong left arm and denies the striker.

Burke makes a clever run in behind, picked out on the left by McGoldrick. The ball is played into the feet of Lundstram, who turns and curls a shot wide of the far post.

Sheffield United enjoy a spell of possession in Newcastle’s half, eventually working the ball up to Burke, whose inviting cross is headed away by Fernandez. The visitors look happy to sit in a fairly low block off the ball.

Fraser is sent clear down the right flank but his ball in is too high for Wilson. He looks lively early on, though, and could add some much-needed flair to this Newcastle attack.

Osborn bursts down the left, drilling in an early cross which is blocked behind for a corner. Nothing comes of the set piece.

Wilson is brought down by Egan, allowing Fraser to whip a free kick into the box. Lundstram flicks a header up into the air but it lands kindly for Ramsdale.

Ramsdale takes an early risk, slamming a kick against the back of Wilson and claiming he’s been impeded. The referee ignores his appeals, but the ball deflects away to safety anyway.
