Bristol City 1-0 Sheffield United: Blades Continue Winless Run in Frustrating Afternoon Sheffield United fell to a 1-0 defeat against Bristol City at Ashton Gate on Monday afternoon. The only goal of the game came in the first half when Adam Davies’ attempted sweeping clearance could only find Mark Sykes who somehow managed to roll the ball beyond multiple sliding Blades as it found the bottom left corner. Lineups Bristol City: Vitek, Pring, Randell, Bird (Earthy 74), Twine (Horvat 89), Knight, Sykes (Bell 82), Riis (Burgzorg 74), Borges, Eile, Morsy.
Unused: Thomas, Naylor, Armstrong, Ezendu, Young. Blades: A. Davies, Tanganga, Hjelde (Brooks 45), Cannon, Burrows, Soumare (Hamer 45), McGuinness, Seriki (Hoever 80), Peck (O’Hare 86), Bamford, Rothwell (Arblaster 74).
Unused: Faxon, Bindon, Ogbene, Riedewald. First Half The first 20 minutes unfolded with plenty of controversy. Two players went into the book early on, but it should have been three.
After being cautioned for a heavy challenge on Bamford, Pring appeared to commit another bookable offence when he stopped Seriki’s run unfairly as he got to the byline. Surprisingly, the referee chose not to issue a second yellow. That moment proved significant, as the home side soon made their presence count with a well-worked opening goal.
