And they created a fine chance to break the deadlock inside two minutes as Berge crossed to former Swansea academy product Norrington-Davies whose header was saved by Steven Benda. Despite the quality in Sheffield United's ranks, Swansea were clearly intent on extending their record of not losing a home league fixture against the south Yorkshire side since 1958. It sparked a flurry of activity at both ends, with Berge firing Norrington-Davies' cross over from close range before Swansea botched a one-on-one situation. Martin responded by sending on Ntcham and Paterson for Cooper and Fulton while Fin Stevens replaced Sorinola soon after. Fulton then drilled well wide after another slick move as the hosts showed they could compete against the league leaders. Olivier Ntcham returned to the matchday squad in place of the injured Liam Cullen, although striker Michael Obafemi remained absent. Foderingham makes a hash of a clearance, it falls to Cooper who squares to Piroe instead of shooting, and the Dutchman's effort is blocked.

Foderingham made a hash of a clearance after being put under pressure by Cooper, and the academy product squared to Piroe instead of shooting himself as the Dutchman was challenged. And just as the points looked destined to be shared, Brewster squared to substitute Khadra who lashed home at the death to earn the visitors a dramatic win. Reda Khadra fired home from a counter attack in the final minute of injury-time as Sheffield United snatched a late victory at Swansea City.

Manning does well this time to block a cross. It's a lovely passing move from Swanswa, but Fulton cuts back and the momentum is lost. But Sorinola is challenged, and the visitors win a goal-kick. Corner to the Blades. It's a great chance for Swansea as Cabango drills the ball into Piroe's feet, he cuts inside and fires just wide. Foderingham makes a hash of a clearance, it falls to Cooper who squares to Piroe instead of shooting, and the Dutchman's effort is blocked.

The Blades continued their impressive form with a 1-0 win win at the Swansea.com Stadium.

Swansea began the second period the same way they had spent much of the first; applying pressure, gradually cranking it up and then wasting their good work. United had started the contest strongly before losing momentum. Indeed, the former Milton Keynes Dons head coach saw his team’s first chance of note come from a Joe Allen corner. While Heckingbottom had regathered his composure by the time he faced the media afterwards, Martin was seething. Heckingbottom, who spent the opening exchanges of the game chewing the fourth official’s ear about the opposition’s grappling at set-pieces, breathed a sigh of relief when Piroe failed to convert despite finding himself unmarked. That, after watching Russell Martin’s men impress, is perseverance.

Sheffield United won away 0-1 over Swansea City in the matchday 10 of the EFL Championship 2022-2023, the goal was scored by Reda Khadra at minute 90+4'.

Sheffield United extended their lead at the top of the Sky Bet Championship with a last-gasp 1-0 win at Swansea City.

Foderingham’s error then gave Cooper a clear sight of goal, but the young midfielder chose to square the ball to Piroe rather than shoot and the chance was lost. Republic of Ireland striker Michael Obafemi was again missing from the Swansea squad after a deadline-day move to Burnley had failed to materialise. Swansea were clearly unhappy that the goal was allowed to stand, believing Brewster had knocked Kyle Naughton to the ground in the build-up to the goal.
