Sheffield United 1-4 Bristol City: Scintillating Robins slice through blunt Blades on opening Championship weekend

  /  autty

Sheffield United boss Ruben Selles endured a miserable start to life at Bramall Lane as they began the season with a 4-1 thumping at the hands of Bristol City.

Stepping in for club legend Chris Wilder in the summer, it was an opening-day nightmare for the Blades - but a dream for new Bristol City head coach Gerhard Struber on his return to the Championship.

A stunning Scott Twine free-kick and a superb Ross McCrorie netted either side of Tyrese Campbell's equaliser in the first half, while Anis Mehmeti and Twine's deflected second sealed an emphatic win.

The result was a far cry from the last team these two sides met back in May, when Sheffield United bagged a record 6-0 aggregate win over Bristol City in the play-off semi-finals.
