Championship leaders Sheffield United maintain their early-season charge with another impressive home display brushing aside Oxford United.
Sheffield United went back to the top of the Championship after another impressive home display saw them brush aside Oxford United 3-0 at Bramall Lane.
United's win was their seventh in a row at home without conceding a goal and sends them two points clear at the top. Just short of the half-hour mark Campbell doubled the Blades’ lead, rounding Jamie Cumming and tapping home after Hamer had cleverly deflected Sydie Peck's pass into his path. Hamer was again central to Sheffield United’s third, picking up a smart backheel from Vinicius de Souza two minutes short of the hour mark before playing a short, stabbed pass to Rak-Sakyi on the edge of the box.
The result saw the Blades leapfrog Leeds United at the summit, after Sunderland's draw with West Brom, and it sets up a mouthwatering clash with the Black Cats at Bramall Lane on Friday.All times UK.
