Newcastle United approached last night's game hoping to bounce back after a recent dip in form that saw them winless in 5 in the Premier League. Unfortunately for Bruce and Newcastle, Sheffield United made it 6, securing their first 3 points of the season against a depleted Newcastle team following Ryan Fraser’s red card in the 45th minute.
