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.
Here are The Yorkshire Post’s ratings from Bramall Lane.
9. Romelle Donovan - 6
Did not get loads of joy in the final third but worked tirelessly and refused to shirk defensive responsibilities. | Annabel Lee-Ellis/PA Wire
10. Ben Brereton Diaz - 6
Faded in and out. Steady enough but does not look to be in full flow just yet. | Annabel Lee-Ellis/PA Wire
11. Patrick Bamford - 7
Showed predatory instincts with a well-taken goal but looked isolated for most of the afternoon. | Nick Potts/PA Wire
12. Tyrese Campbell - 7
Looked lively in spells and grabbed an excellent assist for Patrick Bamford's goal. | Annabel Lee-Ellis/PA Wire
