    The Blades need to try to find a goal before HT.

    Corner.

    GOAL - Sheff Utd 0-2 Tottenhampublished at 40 mins

    Harry Kane

    Marvellous.

    The Blades lose possession 40 yards from goal.

    Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg feeds the ball to Harry Kane, who surges forward and fires a peach of a low drive past Aaron Ramsdale.

    A beautiful strike.

    Sheff Utd 0-1 Tottenham

    Cripes!!

    Sergio Reguilon dazzles down the left and finds Son Heung-min. His cross into the area isn't adequately dealt with, and the ball loops up in the air.

    Harry Kane challenges Aaron Ramsdale for the ball - the Blades get away with it.

    Blades exert more pressure. This time McGoldrick's shot inside the area is blocked by the boot of Eric Dier.

    Moments later, John Fleck lets rip from 20 yards but it's straight down the throat of the French keeper.

    Sometimes Ollie Burke picks the ball up and goes past players - you realise he has got the most explosive pace, it's extraordinary the pace he's got. Sometimes it's a down side because with that physique and that pace he should be tearing teams apart with that. He doesn't seem to be getting in those positions often enough.

    Hugo Lloris, no stranger to mistakes, plays a poor goal-kick to David McGoldrick on the left. However, his fellow attackers fail to make anything from the gift of a situation.

    The tempo has slowed somewhat after that frenetic first 20 minutes - it needed to, to be fair.

    Sheff Utd 0-1 Tottenham

    Tottenham, again, try to create another opening. This time Tanguy Ndombele's through-ball fails to find a team-mate allowing the Blades to clear, just about.

    Sheff Utd 0-1 Tottenham

    Hugo Lloris is made to do some work as he dives low to collect Oliver Burke's trundler.

    That was a promising move from the home side, but perhaps they should have held the ball for a bit longer and created a better chance for themselves.

    Sheff Utd 0-1 Tottenham

    The Blades are tending to lose the ball around the centre-circle a fair bit, very much as a result of Spurs pressure in that part of the pitch.

    Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg is doing a fantastic job once again.

    It looked for one sec that Aaron Ramsdale had punched the corner-ball into his own net - he didn't, the camera angle was deceptive.

    He's had a slightly shaky start though, so far.

    Spurs press again.

    Tottenham Hotspur have scored five goals in the opening five minutes of Premier League games this season, more than any other side.

    Sheff Utd 0-1 Tottenham

    Yellow all day as Oliver Norwood is booked for pulling down a rampaging Harry Kane.

    The England striker looks to take a quick free-kick, but ref Andre Marriner pulls back play to first show a card.

    The Blades are living dangerously in their area - Son Heung-min turns in the area but the home defence manage to clear before the South Korean can inflict more pain.

    We've already had 20 minutes!!

    Tottenham have been the better team but that's not to say that Sheffield United are getting hammered, they're not getting hammered. They're playing their game and they're playing out from the back quite well.

    Serge Aurier has scored two goals in 10 Premier League appearances this season, just one fewer than he managed in his first three Premier League seasons at the club.

    There are two balls on the pitch, but play continues.

    So 2021.

    The Blades defence seems a little more settled now - they clear a Ben Davies free-kick from the right.

    Will the match now settle after a rollercoaster of a start?

    Ian Marks: Spurs go 1-0 up early, bets on when we'll concede a late equaliser?

    I think that was the easiest premier league goal ever scored, Sheffield surely to finish bottom with defending like that

    Son is playing like a demon. He speeds down the left but his cross for Kane is intercepted by Ethan Ampadu in the nick of time.

    The resulting corner is cleared on this occasion.
