SHEFF UTD C PALACE
Henderson
Must have impressed
watching England boss
Gareth Southgate
Basham
Solid and reliable. Does
not look out of place in
the top flight
Egan
Produced a series of
crucial challenges.
Rose to the occasion
O’Connell
His wonderful run had
a huge hand in goal.
Impressive at both ends
Baldock Booked.
Surged forward and
made Wilfried Zaha
look bang average
Lundstram Booked.
Ended his goal drought
with an emphatic strike
in an all-action display
Norwood
Captain Marvel led his
team with composure
and intelligence
Fleck
Looked busy but forced
off before half-time
with a foot problem
Stevens
Produced one piece of
skill Maradona would
have been proud of
Robinson
Tireless runner, but
needs more composure
when chances come
McGoldrick
Missed the best chance
of the game, when it
seemed easier to score
Guaita
Somehow kept out
McGoldrick’s effort but
gifted winner to Blades
Ward
Produced crucial block
and brought energy to
his side’s defence
Kelly
Staked his claim to be a
regular starter.
Underrated player
Dann
Spent most of the
match moaning at the
ref. A game to forget
Van Aanholt
Looked like he was still
on his holidays. Big
mistake in first half
Townsend
Faded rapidly after
bright start, which will
worry Roy Hodgson
McArthur
Huffed and puffed in
midfield but failed to
make significant impact
Milivojevic
Fired free-kick into the
wall, which summed up
his afternoon
Meyer
Had no impact before
getting hauled off on
65 minutes
Benteke
No one needs a goal
more than the Belgian,
but never came close
Zaha
All his fancy footwork
didn’t go down well in
Yorkshire

BLADES IN
SHEFFIELD UNITED registered their first
top-flight win over Crystal Palace since
April 1973, ending a run of six top-flight
games without a win (W0 D1 L5).
FOR a third time in the last four seasons,
Palace have failed to win either of their
opening two Premier League games while
also failing to score (2016-17, 2017-18 and
2019-20).
SINCE the start of the 2016-17 season,
Chris Wilder has won 77 league matches
as Blades boss – only Pep Guardiola has
won more in that time among managers
in England’s top-four divisions (88 wins).
SHEFFIELD UNITED midfielder John
Lundstram’s 10 league goals have been
spread across the top-four divisions.
Palace have won only one of their last
11 Premier League matches in August
(W1 D2 L8), failing to score in eight
of those games.
BLADES became the first team
since Norwich in April 2012 to
name a fully British and Irish
starting XI in two Premier
League games in a row.
