Sheffield United secured a decisive 3-0 win against Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough on Sunday. Tyrese Campbell was instrumental, scoring twice for Chris Wilder's team. Tom Cannon added a third with a deflected shot in stoppage time. This victory brought United within one point of Oxford United, who are 21st in the standings. Meanwhile, Wednesday remain at the bottom with minus-four points, 18 points away from safety.
United's first goal came in the 11th minute when Jairo Riedewald regained possession high up the pitch and passed to Callum O'Hare. O'Hare then set up Campbell, who calmly finished the move. Ethan Horvath made a crucial save to deny Danny Ings in a one-on-one situation. Ings also had a goal disallowed for offside in the 38th
minute.
Campbell struck again early in the second half, skillfully navigating into the area to score past Horvath into the bottom-right corner. Sheffield Wednesday struggled defensively and failed to register any shots on target throughout the match. Their difficulties were compounded when Cannon's shot deflected off Liam Palmer and found its way into the net in the 91st minute.
