As it was at Leicester, Sheffield United are 3-0 up at half-time. They have been unrelenting.
Gus Hamer is getting a lot of joy down the left and it was his corner from the opposite flank that gave the Blades the lead.
Why wasn’t Mark McGuinness marked? And why did Stoke allow that same scenario a subsequent four times too?
It was from another corner that saw Femi Seriki score his first career goal. And what a hit it was! The whole stadium was singing his name after he steadied himself into the D and found the top right corner beyond Viktor Johansson.
And just to put the cherry on top of this first half showing, Seriki was able to stand the ball up for Patrick Bamford to steal in and head home. That was his second in four games.
As for Stoke, they have been a non-entity so far.
