Cool head from Rice. Didn’t need the interference from Lingard.
Presumably as we were never getting one, they hadn't agreed who'd be the taker.
Rice had stepped up for the earlier one. Looked pretty clear he was the taker to me. It’s good that Lingard is confident but I was a bit worried by some of his shot taking on his debut as well - he’s on a line between wanting to prove himself and looking for glory.
How was that not a red card? Football baffles me. So Dawson’s offside by a hair, with the ball being struck by Rice not even timed right, is deemed an injustice & overturned, yet that challenge by Basham is allowed to remain as a yellow?

DECCERS!
No attempt made at all for the ball
Excellent by Bowen feeding in to Lingard for the penalty
May not be 'pin point' but they always beat the first man and enter the danger areas
He lined up the first before it was reversed
But I agree, Benrahma for Lanzini is a sensible change
Only worry would be if Lingard/Bowen have 90 minutes in them, nothing suggests otherwise but maybe Moyed will hold off to see if they start flagging
Was a blatant foul when lingard was clean through
we've had the better chances, looked really good on the counter and Sheffield united haven't really created much....
