Dean Henderson 10
Made a remarkable save to deny Vrancic and Drmic, with help from McGoldrick and the crossbar. A piece of goalkeeping that really has to be seen to be believed. A player who will go to the very top
George Baldock 7

Hide AdA good afternoon going both ways for the full back, who handed the lively Jamal Lewis well all game
Chris Basham 8
Almost lit up the game in the second half with a beautiful bit of skill to lift the ball over the defender but he couldn’t apply the finishing touch. Flew into a challenge in the dying minutes
John Egan 8
Had a let off when his poor header fell to Pukki, who hit the post, but showed great awareness later on to cushion a header back to Henderson under pressure
Jack O’Connell 8
Unfortunate not to open the scoring with a shot in the first half which McLean somehow deflected clear of goal. Won everything defensively
Enda Stevens 7

Hide AdBack in the side after injury and looked like he’d never been away. So composed when he’s on the ball and a real threat down the left for United – but picked up another injury
Ollie Norwood 7
Set up one chance for the Blades in the first half with a superb challenge to win back the ball and although Norwich didn’t afford him the space to play his normal game, was still effective
John Lundstram 7
Regained his place at expense of Sander Berge and had a first half to forget – until a peach of a cross set up Sharp for opening goal. Had two or three good chances after that
John Fleck 8
Penalised a couple of times early on for late tackles but then absolutely cemented Kenny McLean in one soon after. Carried the ball so well and chipped in defensively, too
Oli McBurnie 7

Led the line superbly all afternoon and capped his display with a bullet header, from Lundstram’s superb cross. Made way for McGoldrick to a standing ovation from the home crowd
Subs
Ben Osborn 7
Replaced Enda Stevens at wing back for the second time in as many league games and didn’t look out of place once more
David McGoldrick 8
Earns an extra point for his hand in Henderson’s superb double save, deflecting the ball onto the crossbar
Sander Berge n/a
Replaced McBurnie after he was poleaxed by Krul but the referee didn’t stop play for his head injury
