Sheffield Wednesday 0-3 Sheffield United: Post-match review, Stats, Key moments

Dive into Ladbrokes’ post-match review of Sheffield Wednesday 0-3 Sheffield United in the Championship on Sunday, 23 November 2025, with stats, key moments and our take on the match.

Sheffield United took control early in this Sheffield derby, striking first in the 11th minute when Tyrese Campbell finished off a move assisted by Callum O'Hare to put the visitors ahead. Sheffield Wednesday's response was hampered by disciplinary issues, with Dominic Iorfa picking up a yellow card in the 36th minute before being substituted five minutes later for Liam Cooper. A further yellow for Sean Fusire in the 45th minute compounded Wednesday's frustrations as they went into the break trailing.

The second half started disastrously for Wednesday as Campbell grabbed his second in the 48th minute, assisted by Sam Peck, doubling United's lead. Substitutions followed with Fusire replaced by Bailey Cadamarteri in the 56th minute and Ike Ugbo making way for Charlie McNeill in the 73rd, but another yellow for Harry Amass in the 64th minute disrupted their rhythm. United managed the game with changes like Danny Ings off for Patrick Bamford in the 70th and Campbell substituted for Tom Cannon in the 77th, before Cannon sealed the win with an unassisted goal in the 90th minute amid late substitutions in added time.

Sheffield Wednesday dominated possession with 59% compared to United's 41%, yet this failed to translate into meaningful chances, as evidenced by their fewer corners (4 to 7) and slightly lower successful dribbles (31 to 36), allowing United to counter effectively and secure the win. The Owls' three yellow cards contrasted with United's clean sheet in that department, disrupting their flow and contributing to a lack of assists (0.0 to 2.0), while no red cards or penalties were issued for either side, keeping the contest even in numbers but not in composure. United utilised all five substitutions— including key changes like Tyrese Campbell off for Tom Cannon in the 77th minute—compared to Wednesday's three, such as Dominic Iorfa replaced by Liam Cooper in the 41st, which helped the Blades maintain momentum and exploit late opportunities without any injury-time goals recorded.

The match's decisive moments came from Sheffield United's clinical finishing, starting with Tyrese Campbell's opening goal in the 11th minute assisted by Callum O'Hare, which set the tone for their dominance. Campbell's second in the 48th minute, assisted by Sam Peck, effectively killed off Wednesday's hopes, while the Owls' early setbacks like Dominic Iorfa's yellow card in the 36th minute and subsequent substitution for Liam Cooper five minutes later shifted momentum further. Late on, Tom Cannon's unassisted strike in the 90th minute capped the victory, following impactful changes such as Campbell making way for Cannon in the 77th, amid Wednesday's disciplinary woes with yellows for Sean Fusire in the 45th and Harry Amass in the 64th.

Sheffield Wednesday lined up in a 3-4-2-1 formation, relying on a solid back three that included Dominic Iorfa in defence before his early exit, with midfield partnerships aiming to control the game's tempo through possession. The setup allowed for attacking support from the wing-backs, but disciplinary issues disrupted key roles, particularly in the defensive unit where Liam Cooper stepped in to steady the line.

Sheffield United deployed a 4-2-2-2 shape, featuring a dynamic forward pairing with Tyrese Campbell leading the line effectively alongside support from creative midfielders like Callum O'Hare. The double pivot in midfield provided balance, enabling quick transitions and assists from players such as Sam Peck, while the structure facilitated late contributions from substitutes like Tom Cannon up front.

Tyrese Campbell earned Man of the Match honours for Sheffield United with a commanding performance, netting a brace in the 11th and 48th minutes to drive his team's victory. His clinical finishing and ability to link with assists from Callum O'Hare and Sam Peck highlighted his threat, making him the standout figure in a dominant display before being substituted in the 77th minute.
