Sheffield United tasted defeat for the first time this season as they were beaten 3-1 by Norwich City.
The Blades lost the battle in midfield and could not keep a lid on Norwich’s talented attacking contingent. Anthony Musaba’s opener was cancelled out by Patrick Bamford, but goals from Mohamed Toure and Mathias Kvistgaarden ensured it was the Canaries who claimed three points.
Chris Wilder’s men may have been beaten but it was not a case of poor performances across the board. Some players did indeed underwhelm, but some came away with credit on a tough afternoon in South Yorkshire.
