at London Stadium
A DRAW was a fair result in this hard fought contest between West Ham and Sheffield United.
The game took some time to really take off, with the first shot on target not coming till the 22nd minute, when Felipe Anderson whipped his shot just over from 20 yards.
Home keeper Roberto pulled off a point blank save from David McGoldrick, the first of a number of fine saves from the Spanish goalie.
