However, might have done better to cut out the first ball across the face of goal for the third goal. JACK BURROUGHS: 6 Continued to impress on his third consecutive start at right wing-back where he reasonably defended well and played with confidence. Withdrawn on the hour to give the fit-again Dabo a run. GUS HAMER: 7 As busy as ever all over the pitch in an often scrappy affair in the first half when he spent as much time defending his own box as attacking at the other end. Had a good free-kick saved in the second half and sent in the set-piece for Gyokeres to score with another excellent delivery.

(Image: Isaac Parkin/PA) JAMIE ALLEN: 6. 5 Read the game well and made some good interceptions to win back possession but slipped at the vital second as he attempted to cut out the pass for the first goal. Worked hard as usual but taken off on the hour to give Waghorn and run and save his energy for Thursday. VIKTOR GYOKERES: 7 Provided a good outlet on the left flank early on where he kept drifting wide to receive the ball to feet. But the striker as well marshalled as United doubled up on him at times and used every trick in the book to stop him running through.

But things went from bad to worse in the 71st minute when City were at sixes and sevens at the back as they completely missed a ball across the face of goal, only for United to recycle it and send it back in from opposite side for Tommy Doyle to rifle home at the near post a minute after going on as a sub. Gyokeres then scored a consolation header from a Hamer free-kick 15 minutes from time before United were reduced to ten men when John Egan was sent off for a second yellow card after fouling Gyokeres to stop him breaking free.

READ MORE: Coventry City injury blow as star man stretchered off after two minutes at Sheffield United City suffered a major blow in the second minute when Callum O’Hare went down injured as he was trying to control a ball, clutching his right knee and receiving treatment before being stretchered off and replaced by Kasey Palmer. Sheffield went closest to breaking the deadlock in the 26th minute when veteran striker Billy Sharp got the better of Michael Rose at the back post, getting his head on a deep corner and hitting the underside of the bar.
But the home side took the lead in the 35th minute when City got caught on the counter attack from a corner. Goalkeeper Wes Foderingham punched clear to Iliman Ndiaye in his own half, with the striker surging forward and playing a diagonal pass to James McAtee with Jamie Allen slipping as he attempted to cut it out and leaving the forward to race into the box and slot calmly past Ben Wilson. City passed up the opportunity to get back on level terms two minutes into the second half when Jake Bidwell was tripped in the box and Coventry were awarded a penalty.
BEN SHEAF: 6. 5 Put himself about well in the midfield battleground and got stuck in with plenty of tackles but couldn’t get close enough to Ndiaye to prevent the killer pass for the first goal. Withdrawn on the hour to give Kelly game time and presumably save his legs for Cardiff. JAKE BIDWELL: 6. 5 Worked the left flank well and used his physicality to good effect in a scruffy first 45 minutes. Won the penalty early in the second half. CALLUM O’HARE: Disaster struck in the second minute when he attempted to control the ball and went straight down injured, appearing to hold his right knee. After treatment on the field he was stretchered off and replaced by Palmer. Coventry City's Callum O'Hare receives medial treatment before leaving the pitch on a stretcher during the Sky Bet Championship match at Bramall Lane.

MICHAEL ROSE: 6 Headed well to defend his box amid early set-piece threats from United but missed one from Billy Sharp at the far post from a corner, which the striker sent onto the underside of the bar and out in what was a lucky let off. Takes collective responsibility for the third. CALLUM DOYLE: 6 Defended reasonably well at the heart of the back three early on, using his pace to good effect, but lost his man from a 52nd minute set-piece, allowing Ciaran Clark to head home from a free-kick into the box. JONATHAN PANZO: 6 Defended reasonably well against a fluid forward line in the first half and posed a goal threat in the opposition box, heading wide from a deep Hamer corner in the first half. Made a vital block to deny Norwood in the first half stoppage time.
