The home side need half-time quickly. They are all over the place.
Another Newcastle counter and once again Anthony Gordon lays it off for Callum Wilson who is denied by the keeper.
Another set-piece for the Blades to try and defend.

That is a penalty. He catches him. That is a penalty.
He kicked him and that is a penalty.

How is that not a penalty?! The standards of referees are getting worse and worse and VAR continuously refuses to intervene at the right time.

That Jack Robinson tackle was a fair tackle. He absolutely smashed Longstaff. But why can’t Longstaff just get up and play the game!

They are not happy that it was a free-kick but they don't defend the set-pieces. That's been their problem.
Good ball in and a free header for Botman. Game over.
Sven Botman
Sheffield United are falling apart.
They just cannot defend from set-pieces and Sven Botman is the latest to take advantage as he glances Kieran Trippier's free-kick beyond Wes Foderingham.
It's a lovely finish and it's two assists for Trippier.

Image source, Getty ImagesIt's all kicking off.
Moments after Newcastle are denied a third goal after Wes Foderingham keeps out Callum Wilson, Jack Robinson goes in late on Sean Longstaff.
It's ugly. And Newcastle are not happy.

Image source, ReutersComplete mismatch. Dan Burn is too powerful and the ball in from Trippier is superb.
Brilliant header from Dan Burn at the back post.
Dan Burn
Awful marking and Newcastle have a commanding lead.
Sheffield United have been struggling from Newcastle's set-pieces and they are undone as Dan Burn ghosts in to meet a corner unchallenged.
It's a long way back for the Blades.

I'm sorry but it's hit his hand to stay in and they've allowed it? Does VAR just make up the rules each week or contrive to have at least one absolutely stupid call?? If United scored that goal then it would've been chalked off.

They have been the better team in this first half. McAtee and Hamer are causing problems and they shouldn't be deflated by that goal.
Gordon has come on and made a difference. He really does look sharp and he is causing Sheffield United a lot of problems down that left side.

I don't think it's the handball, because he knows nothing about it. It's whether the ball went across the line.

We're going to hear more about that goal. Sean Longstaff did not celebrate immediately. Replays show the ball was not out of play when it was crossed but was it handball by Anthony Gordon?
Sean Longstaff
The Toon lead!
Moments after that heavy challenge Sean Longstaff is back on his feet and has the ball in the back of the net after meeting Anthony Gordon's cross.
The Blades are not happy. They think Gordon handled before crossing while there are complaints the ball was out of play before the goal.
VAR has looked at it. The goal stands.

Having already lost Harvey Barnes to injury, there are some anxious looks on the Newcastle bench as Sean Longstaff goes down heavily after a challenge.
Sheff Utd 0-0 Newcastle
Sheffield United do not look like a side struggling in confidence. They're spraying it about really well and the home fans are encouraged.
James McAtee has been excellent and is heavily involved in a move that ends with Vinicius Souza forcing Nick Pope into his first serious save.

Image source, Getty ImagesHe is running the show. McAtee is running the show. It's a great ball but he goes for too much power. If he just side-foots that he scores, but McAtee is running the show.
He can play. When you have played with the likes of De Bruyne and Rodri, you have to be able to play.
Sheff Utd 0-0 Newcastle
Image source, Getty ImagesHuge chance for the Blades!
James McAtee, who has really sparkled in these opening exchanges, picks out Luke Thomas with a terrific cross but the volley is wide.
Thomas' reaction says it all.

If you have just got a knock you would know and you get back up but it might be something muscular. It's time for Anthony Gordon.
