Burnley pile on the pain for Sheffield United to reignite survival chances | Premier League

“That comes from particular person errors, unit errors and poor management. A complete lot of issues aren’t proper. This league is just too highly effective for us and also you get uncovered.”

Given these groups had saved three clear league sheets between all of them season, targets appeared virtually as doubtless as one of many rain showers that, in latest months, appear to have change into an virtually every day occasion in northern England.

The one shock was that it took 38 minutes for a defence to fracture. As soon as Sheffield United’s rearguard did lastly splintered, two targets arrived inside an terrible three-minute spell for Ivo Grbic.
