Sheffield United players in furious off-the-ball confrontation with own team-mate as fans say ‘absolutely done’


SHEFFIELD UNITED stars Jack Robinson and Vinicius Souza had an altercation on the pitch against Wolves.

Robinson appeared to criticise his team-mate Souza after the ball went out of play for a Sheffield United goal kick.

Souza seemed bemused as Robinson pointed a finger in his face, leading the pair to butt heads.

Robinson then pushed the Brazilian in the chest with Souza responding in kind.

Robinson then pushed Souza again as he tried to approach him, leading captain Anel Ahmedhodzic to intervene by separating the pair.

Ahmedhodzic and another team-mate Auston Trusty then tried to calm down Robinson as Souza trotted off.

Referee Darren Bond kept a close eye on the clash as it unfolded and he was deep in conversation with Ahmedhovic after the incident.

Robinson then had a word with the ref and persuaded him not to dish out a yellow card, with VAR also reviewing the incident and not advising any harsher punishment.

Sheffield United’s disastrous campaign has been plagued by poor discipline with Chris Wilder’s side picking up four red cards this season.

Just last week Mason Holgate was sent off for a horror tackle against Brighton, catching Kaoru Mitoma at knee height.

Fortunately for the Blades they were spared another dismissal at Molineux, with the Premier League basement dwellers already trailing at the time of the incident thanks to Pablo Sarabia’s header.

Every Premier League stadium ranked by the number of pubs nearby with one boasting over 130 local boozers

The Yorkshire club’s fighting went no way to helping them get back in to the game though.

Sarabia’s goal for Wolves was only game of the match in a 1-0 defeat for Sheffield United that leaves them rooted firmly to the base of the Premier League table.
