Clarke takes his Blade to Wolves

– Sheffield United climbed to second in England’s second-tier Championship on Wednesday with a 2-0 victory against 10-man Wolves who spurned the chance to go top themselves.

After an even opening between two of the Championship’s form sides, Wolves’ former Sheffield United defender Conor Coady was dismissed after he pulled back Leon Clarke – denying him a goalscoring chance in the 15th minute.

The Blades capitalised, with Clarke scoring twice against his former club either side of a missed penalty from Wolves’ Ruben Neves. –
