Swansea 1 (Bianchini 7’) - Sheff Utd 2 (Brewster 47’, Burrows 68’ pen)
The Swans dominated the first half and took the lead after seven minutes, a Bianchini header after Cooper could only parry a Cabango header.
Swans were denied a sure penalty when Norrington-Davies, who had already been booked, pulled back Peart-Harris in the box, the ref shying away from what should have been a blatant penalty, a second booking and a red card. Wilder, seeing the danger subbed Norrington-Davies at half-time.
With 5-0 shots on target we just could not get another goal our play deserved.
Start of the second-half, Wilder introduced three subs and as with many other games this season we were slow out of the blocks. Bianchini weakly lost the ball and sub Seriki crossed the ball, it deflected to ex-Swan Brewster who fired home the equaliser.
A few minutes later and the ref ruined the match. Darling was sent off after a late tackle on Brewster, who writhed on the floor in exaggerated agony as the Sheff Utd players milled around the ref trying to get Darling sent-off, the biased ref obliged. It was no more than a yellow card. Brewster was later subbed off to boos from the home supporters for his antics.
But more was to come from one of the worst refs seen here this season. After the many fouls by the Blades not punished, Key was adjudged to have fouled Campbell in the box and Burrows stroked away the penalty.
Swans fought back bravely but could not get the equaliser their play deserved.
A lucky win for the Blades thanks to sub standard and biased refereeing.
Swans 3 yellow, 1 red. Blades 4 yellow, 0 red
