Sheffield United 0-1 Southampton: Three Key moments that decided the game

Sharp red card halts any Blades comeback

Sheffield United had many chances of their own to score over the course of Saturday afternoon and they would have still sensed a chance to equalise in the final stages of the game.

However, they would have needed all 11 of their players – and particularly their strikers – on the field right up until the final whistle.

This was not the case as former Saints man Billy Sharp was shown a straight red card for a challenge that caught Stuart Armstrong high on the leg.

With that, any momentum that the Blades had hoped to build-up drained away and Saints had their win.
