Blades' woes continue with 3-0 loss to Saints

LONDON • Che Adams opened the scoring against his former club, while Stuart Armstrong and Nathan Redmond struck after the interval as Southampton beat basement club Sheffield United 3-0 at St Mary's yesterday.

The Saints temporarily went up to third in the Premier League table, before yesterday's later matches.

The Blades' 11th defeat of the campaign makes them the first team since Queens Park Rangers in 2012 to be without a win after 12 top-flight games, and pressure is mounting on manager Chris Wilder to arrest their slide.
