Blades blunted by soaring Eagles
Crystal Palace's Eberechi Eze (centre) celebrates scoring his side's second goal of the game during the Premier League match at Selhurst Park, London.

SHEFFIELD UNITED arrived at Selhurst Park still awaiting their first victory of the Premier League campaign and firmly rooted to the bottom of the table after a run of 17 winless games.

They were unable to break that duck against Crystal Palace as the home team ran out comfortable 2-0 winners. 

The Blades find themselves in a rut at the moment with the team looking void of confidence and creativity which was not assisted by the fact that they were missing nine first team players for the clash against the south Londoners, something the Blades boss was keen to highlight.
