Billy Sharp scored the first goal for Sheffield United in the 54th minute, then Chris Morgan added another on an own goal in the 81st minute In the end, Peterborough United was frustrated by Sheffield United’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Sheffield United ended the match with the shutout victory. Sheffield United should be reasonably happy with their recent performance, earning 20 points in their last 10 matches.
In their last match together, in Bramall Lane, Birmingham City was victorious by a score of 1 to 0. Maxime Colin struck first for Birmingham City in the 19th minute, and with that single goal the scoring was complete.
