90+7'
FT: Sheffield United 1-0 Crystal Palace. John Lundstram's second-half goal is enough to earn the Blades their first win of the season and, even though the scoreline says 1-0, it was a comfortable victory against a poor Palace side. Much to ponder for Roy Hodgson. Thanks for joining us. Goodbye.
90+6'
Schlupp cannot get the shot away and Henderson gathers the loose ball.
90+4'
Long ball after long ball is launched forward but Sheffield United are dealing with it easily.
90+2'
Freeman just clears upfield to get the ball out of danger.
90'
SEVEN minutes of added time here.
89'
The returning Phil Jagielka is on to a hero's welcome. McGoldrick makes way.
88'
Zaha again tries to make something happen but he is once again crowded out.
86'
Freeman is next man into the book for a lunge on Ward.
84'
McBurnie again tries to divert the header towards goal, but that is always heading over.
82'
Change for Palace, with Connor Wickham on for McArthur.
-
Absolutely.
80'
McBurnie gets up highest to win the header from a corner, but heads over the top.
78'
Palace fans are looking very disgruntled here as their team continue to look disinterested.
76'
Hosts are quicker to everything here, Palace just are not in it.
74'
Nasty challenge from Baldock on McCarthy earns the Blades defender a yellow card. McCarthy is cautioned for his reaction.
72'
Still all Sheffield United. This must be very worrying for Hodgson.
70'
Change for Palace with James McCarthy on for Townsend.
68'
Norwood sprays a lovely looking ball out wide to Baldock, but it has just too much on it and the ball runs out of play.
66'
The very ineffective Max Meyer is replaced by Jeff Schlupp for Palace.
64'
Change of shirt for Townsend and he is fine to continue.
