United run out 4-2 victors in the 141st Steel City Derby
John Fleck broke the deadlock three minutes in when the Blades came up with a clever freekick routine, the ball was rolled to Fleck who smashed his shot into the bottom corner.
Their lead was doubled when Baldock sent a long ball forward up the ex-Owl Leon Clarke who had freedom to take it in his stride and slot it past Westwood. WHERE WAS THE WEDNESDAY DEFENCE!!
Gary Hooper pulled a goal back on the stroke of halftime. Wallace hooked the ball over from a Hunt chipped ball to Hooper who poked the ball past Jamal Blackman.
Wednesday were on level terms in the 65th minute when Joao was given the ball on the edge of the box, he subsequently rifled the ball into the roof of the net past Blackman.
Just as Wednesday were celebrating the equaliser, United took advantage of the Owls' vulnerability as Duffy slalomed his way past van Aken and smashed the ball home in front of the away following.
United wrapped up the Derby when Clarke wriggled his way between Lees and van Aken and lifted the ball over Westwood.
