Ersub Yan puts some pride back

-

ard miss was bad, John Lundstram’s was worse.

Just 60 seconds later, he linked up with McGoldrick and was clean through on goal inside the area but couldn’t even find the target as he sliced his effort wide.

The home fans had been woken up as their team looked to turn the screw, and on 62 minutes the game’s opening goal duly arrived.

Patient play down the left between John Fleck and Enda Stevens resulted in the latter’s pull-back towards the penalty spot being tucked away nicely by Baldock, who was unmarked and able to side-foot the ball past the despairing Kristoffer Nordfeldt. Blades boss Chris Wilder (left) had seen the visitors rarely threaten Dean Henderson in the United goal – but now they sparked into life. The on-loan keeper reacted superbly to tip Jay Fulton’s header on to the roof of his net on 68 minutes when he looked a beaten man. That chance seemed to give the Swans a bit more belief and they were rewarded just three minutes later when a neat one-two inside Blades area between McBurnie and McKay created space for McBurnie to fire home a loose ball into the roof of the net.

Swansea were now finding their rhythm and the introducti­on of Montero proved the winning move.

The winger was causing all kinds of problems. His cross four minutes from time found McKay and, although the winger was tripped in the area as he cut inside, the ball fell kindly for new Swans hero Dhanda to fire home and complete the turnaround.
