Sheffield United vs Brentford LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction

Yellow Card William Idamudia Daugaard Osula

Arriving into the Brentford box, Ahmedhodzic prods the ball well wide from Hamer's delivery; then Lewis-Potter sends a dangerous cross into the area from the right, as both teams start brightly following a subdued first half.

Sheffield United kick off, and we are back under way at Bramall Lane!

Substitution Ogochukwu Frank Onyeka Yehor Yarmoliuk

McAtee's goal aside, the other main talking point from the first half was Onyeka escaping a VAR check for a crude foul on Vinicius, which saw the Brentford midfielder avoid having a yellow card upgraded to red. He seemed to catch his opponent with force, and certainly with upraised studs, so it could have been even worse for the Bees.

Brightening up a turgid game played in miserable conditions, McAtee's superb strike separates the sides at half-time, putting Sheffield United one goal up with their first shot on target. Only in stoppage time did a moment of true quality arrive, and despite Brentford's dominance of the ball they trail at the break. In 11 away games played against the Premier League's bottom eight since the start of the 2022-23 season, the Bees have won just twice - they've now got a mountain to climb if they are to enhance that record today.

HALF-TIME: SHEFFIELD UNITED 1-0 BRENTFORD

Assist Gustavo Martin Emilio Hamer

JUST WIDE! After Mee flips a ball over the top and Janelt cuts it back into the box, Maupay's shot is deflected narrowly wide of the left-hand post! It seemed he was actually offside, but the Bees still have a corner.

McAtee handles the ball with his team in a promising position just outside Brentford's box, relieving the pressure on Frank's men, who have been pushed back for the last few minutes of this first half.
