Sheffield United fans react to John Lundstrum performance against Newcastle

Sheffield United were beaten for the first time in seven matches as Newcastle United won 2-0 at Bramall Lane.

The game wasn’t without controversy, however. Jonjo Shelvey’s goal was given despite the assistant referee flagging for offside. VAR replays showed the Newcastle man to be onside and the goal was awarded.

The Blades have made a flying start to their maiden season back in the Premier League, however, and tenth-place is still positive.

Next up for Chris Wilder’s men is a trip to lowly Norwich City and he will hope his side can return to winning ways sharpish.

A below-par performance made it difficult to select a Man of the Match from a Blades perspective last night.

John Lundstram was given the official award inside the stadium and that caused a bit of a stir among supporters.

The ex-Everton trainee has been fantastic this season but it’s fair to say that not many of the club’s fans felt obliged to agree with last night’s decision.

Lundstram has started every game for the Blades this season. It’s fair to say he wasn’t at his very best last night though.

Here is a selection of tweets from Sheffield United supporters regarding his showing against Newcastle:
