Match Report

There was little to separate the two teams in the first half, with the Blades having the biggest chance to break the deadlock through Ismaila Coulibaly, but he could only slice his effort wide of the goal.

Spurs assistant boss Cristian Stellini was forced to call upon big guns in Harry Kane and Dejan Kulusevski in the second half in an attempt to make the breakthrough at Bramall Lane.

But it was the Blades' second-half substitute Iliman Ndiaye that got the opener, weaving in and around the Spurs defence before shooting the ball past Fraser Forster at his near post.
