Death By A 1000 Cuts

Season 16

The Steel City derby rarely disappoints — and this one had just about everything.

We break down Sheffield United’s 2–1 win over Sheffield Wednesday on February 22nd, from Patrick Bamford’s early opener and Harrison Burrows doubling the lead, to Kalvin Phillips’ red card that flipped the momentum in the second half. We also get into Wednesday’s response, the late dismissal of Gabriel Otegbayo, and the Gustavo Hamer kick-out that could yet bring retrospective FA action.

Joining us is Alex Miller from the Sheffield Star, who gives his take on the big incidents, the turning points, and what the result means for both sides after a huge afternoon in the Championship.
