Millwall vs Sheffield United LIVE match updates and opinion
Sheffield United travelled to Millwall looking to return to winning ways. The Blades saw a 13-game unbeaten run come to an end on Wednesday evening with a 3-1 defeat to Middlesbrough.
Paul Heckingbottom was hoping his side could put that result behind them this afternoon with a positive reaction against a Lions side who have been strong on home soil this season.
However, despite coming back into the match on two occasions with equalising goals from Tommy Doyle and James McAtee, United conceded three soft goals with Tom Bradshaw netting a hat-trick and taking home the matchball.
