FT: Sheffield United 0-0 Coventry City

After a poor first-half display, Sheffield United certainly improved in the second half. Substitute David McGoldrick had two decent chances to score but couldn’t keep his efforts down. Morgan Gibbs-White almost won it for the hosts late on but his deflected shot was brilliantly kept out by Coventry goalkeeper - and former Blade - Simon Moore.
