Everton 0-2 Sheffield United: Report, Ratings & Reaction as Blades Edge Past Lacklustre Toffees

Sheffield United earned their first away win of the season on Saturday afternoon, as they beat Everton 2-0 at Goodison Park.

It was a tepid opening half hour, with Everton wasteful and Sheffield United not even having an attempt on goal. However it was the Blades who opened the scoring five minutes before half-time, as Oliver Norwood's corner glanced off Yerry Mina's shoulder into the back of the net.

The second half didn't improve in quality or intensity, with neither side having any big chances. Everton had a penalty appeal as Bernard went down in the box, while the Blades continued to search with their first shot on goal to no real avail.
