Sheff Utd   0 - 1   Scunthorpe

Sheffield Utd v Scunthorpe Utd highlights

Sheffield Utd 0-1 Scunthorpe Utd

Paul Hayes' goal in first-half injury time moved Scunthorpe eight points clear of the relegation zone to dent Sheffield United's play-off hopes.

Hayes turned in Donal McDermott's cross to claim his 12th goal of the campaign and secure Iron's third straight win.

Paul Connolly went closest for the home side when he saw his first-half shot blocked on the line by David Mirfin.

But Blades keeper Steve Simonsen was forced into a fine save to deny Garry Thompson a second for Scunthorpe.



Blades boss Kevin Blackwell told BBC Sheffield:

"It was another little cameo of our season. We shot ourselves in the foot.

"We had the chances to kill the game off and then got mugged.

"The goal was a poor one, individual errors again.

"But it was the chances we missed which cost us, especially in the first half. They were gilt-edged."
