Swansea 0-0 Sheffield United: Points shared in Championship encounter

Swansea's need for a new striker was more obvious than ever as they were held by Sheffield United.

Russell Martin’s home side bossed the ball but had just one shot on target against a team relegated from the Premier League last term.

United were disappointing given they had Billy Sharp, David McGoldrick, Oliver Burke and former Swans Rhian Brewster and Oli McBurnie as attacking threats.

It was Swansea who dominated possession – they had 65 per cent of it in the first half – but they failed to match their neat and tidy passing with a cutting edge in attack.
