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

Brooks and Archer combine on the left, but the former's cross into the box is easily cleared by Pinnock. Osula has barely had a sniff of the ball to this point, being left quite isolated up front.

Onyeka is fortunate to evade a booking, after deliberately blocking off a marauding run infield by Brooks. There was clear intent, but it was well disguised.

Despite being the away side, Brentford have had a 64 per cent share of possession thus far, and they have looked comfortable on the ball. By contrast, United are closing down well, but have been chasing shadows at times.

Hamer steals the ball from Onyeka, and the home side build pressure on the right flank, before a misplaced pass sees their attack thwarted. There's been precious little goalmouth action in this game so far.

Foderingham calls out to his defence, then strides forward to claim Onyeka's wayward cross into the area. The Blades goalkeeper has conceded one goal every 33 minutes so far this season and is yet to keep a clean sheet in 15 Premier League appearances.

Yellow Card Auston Levi-Jesaiah Trusty

Onyeka is felled in full flight by Hamer, earning Brentford a free-kick just outside Sheffield United's area, on the left. Ghoddos delivers the ball in towards the penalty spot, but the hosts quickly get it away to safety.

Out on the right, Lewis-Potter slips past a wrong-footed Trusty and hits the byline, but his tame cutback into the box is easily cleared away. Neither side have created a clear opening as yet, amid heavy rain in the Steel City.

Brentford seem to be deliberately slowing the game down now, taking care of possession inside their own half and drawing the sting both from their opponents and a lively Bramall Lane crowd.

Having dropped deep, Archer is brought down in midfield and earns his side a free-kick. Hamer then clips the ball over Brentford's high defensive line and into the area, but Ahmedhodzic is unable to reach it.
