Sheffield United secured their first Premier League win of the season with a penalty goal from Oliver Norwood 10 minutes into stoppage time, earning them a 2-1 victory at home against Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday.

As the match neared its conclusion, the visitors’ Fabio Silva conceded a penalty for tripping George Baldock, which Norwood easily converted, sending Bramall Lane into a frenzy.

Sheffield had got the first goal of the match when Cameron Archer picked up a loose ball in midfield, sprinted to the edge of the box and unleashed a shot that struck the crossbar before finding the back of the net in the 72nd minute.

A minute before stoppage time, Jean-Ricner Bellegarde equalised for the visitors, sending in a curler from inside the box that deflected into the net.

Sheffield are bottom of the table with four points, while Wolves are 13th with 12 points.

United struggled to get going in the attack before the break, with their only shot of the half valued at 0.01 expected goals (xG). Hamer had a few bright runs forward and put a couple of good free-kicks into the box, but the hosts have not been able to compete with the height and physicality of Wolves' defence. Archer has looked isolated up front and has not been able to get into the game. As for the away side, they have put some nice attacking moves together. Kalajdzic has been unselfish and is dropping deep to create space in behind, with Hwang looking dangerous when he is in possession.

There has only been one shot on target in the game between United and Wolves that ends goalless at half-time. The away side threatened more in the attack and had most of the chances. Kalajdzic and Hwang combined, with the latter moving past a defender inside the box before his scuffed attempt found Ait-Nouri. However, he couldn't direct his shot on target. Doyle blasted a free-kick over and Semedo squandered a clear shooting chance after good work from Cunha, with his pass across the box cleared away.

CHANCE! Wolves squander another chance to shoot. Dawson finds Cunha with a direct ball forward. He holds it up well before playing a smart pass into the path of Semedo. He has the opportunity to shoot inside the box, but looks for Kalajdzic to his left and United clear it away.

Kilman has not had a lot to do on his 100th Premier League appearance. He attempts to start an attack and chips a pass up to Kalajdzic, who flicks a header towards Semedo. He tries to get it under control but Souza gets across to make a good tackle.
