  1. A Heck of a start

    FT: Sheff Utd 2-0 Bristol City

    That's as far as we go here today as Paul Heckingbottom celebrates victory in his first game in charge of Sheffield United.

    The former Blades caretaker took over from Slavisa Jokanovic on Thursday and his side were good money for their win at a snowy Bramall Lane today.

    Bristol City stayed in the game but were second-best for much of the contest and saw defender Nathan Baker stretchered off in a neck brace after a bad clash of heads.

    We'll be back at 19:30 GMT on Monday for Derby v QPR.

    Thanks for your company today and enjoy the rest of your weekend.

  2. Not done quite yet

    Derby v QPR (Mon, 19:45 GMT)

    Matchday 20 in the Championship still has one game to come...

    Tomorrow night bottom side Derby welcome in-form QPR to Pride Park as Wayne Rooney's administration-hit Rams seek to extend their own three-game unbeaten run.

    They're back up to positive points after being deducted a total of 21 and it's going to take something incredible for them to stay up now but they've certainly not thrown the towel in, having taken four points from their past two games against the league's top two sides, Bournemouth and Fulham.

    We'll of course have live text coverage of that one from 19:30 GMT.

  3. FULL-TIME

    Sheff Utd 2-0 Bristol City

    One game, one win for Paul Heckingbottom at Sheffield United.

    Rhian Brewster gave them a half-time lead before Billy Sharp, on for Brewster, made it 2-0 late on.

    We had 13 minutes of time added on at the end after Bristol City defender Nathan Baker suffered a serious looking head injury at the start of the second half and had lengthy treatment on the pitch before being stretchered off in a neck brace.

    We wish him all the very best.

    Into the last minute of this now.

    The Blades are worthy winners I'd have to say.

  5. Post update

    Sheff Utd 2-0 Bristol City

    Last chance for Bristol City you'd have to say.

    The ball is swung in from the right and Nahki Wells meets it on the volley but directs his effort wide.

  6. Post update

    Sheff Utd 2-0 Bristol City

    Antoine Semenyo fires a shot at goal for the visitors after a corner is half-cleared.

    The Blades rush out and get the block.

  7. SUBSTITUTION

    Sheff Utd 2-0 Bristol City

    Into the final five of the 13 minutes added on.

    The home side take off Conor Hourihane for Ben Osborn.

  8. Post update

    Sheff Utd 2-0 Bristol City

    Looks like Sheffield United will be taking the points today.

    It could have all be so different if home goalkeeper Wes Foderingham hadn't denied Chris Martin when the score was still 0-0.

    Fair play to both teams for making this a decent game in what have been very trying conditions.

  9. Post update

    Sheff Utd 2-0 Bristol City

    Sheffield United get in on goal twice in about 40 seconds and both times they contrive to not get a shot away.

  10. Post update

    Sheff Utd 2-0 Bristol City

    Bristol City haven't given this up.

    They win a couple of corners in quick succession but the second one is flicked well wide by Chris Martin.

  11. Post update

    Sheff Utd 2-0 Bristol City

    Oh, that's nice again!

    David McGoldrick plays Morgan Gibbs-White in and he hits a low shot wide of the far post.

  12. INJURY TIME

    Sheff Utd 2-0 Bristol City

    We are into 13 minutes of time added on.

    If you're just joining us, Bristol City defender Nathan Baker suffered a serious looking head injury at the start of this half and had lengthy treatment on the pitch before being stretchered off in a neck brace.

  13. SUBSTITUTION

    Sheff Utd 2-0 Bristol City

  14. GOAL: Sheff Utd 2-0 Bristol City

    Billy Sharp (88 mins)

    There it is!

    Yeah, that's lovely.

    CLASSIC Sheffield United.

    Oli Norwood plays David McGoldrick in down the side of the Bristol City defence and he hammers a low cross in that veteran Billy Sharp gobbles up in the middle.

  15. YELLOW CARD

    Sheff Utd 1-0 Bristol City

    Bristol City forward Andi Weimann is booked for a poor attempted tackle.

    He didn't actually make contact with the Sheffield United defender but it would have been a bad one if he had.

  16. Post update

    Sheff Utd 1-0 Bristol City

    This is like a different match now!

    Bristol City escape down their left and Nahki Wells is in but his low cross can't find a team-mate.

    The visitors keep the pressure on and Callum O'Dowda's cross is nearly tuned into his own goal by a Blades defender.

  17. Post update

    Sheff Utd 1-0 Bristol City

    CHANCES!

    Deep cross hung over to the back post from Morgan Gibbs-White and John Egan heads wide.

    Moments later Billy Sharp draws a fine save from Daniel Bentley in the Bristol City goal.

  18. Post update

    Sheff Utd 1-0 Bristol City

    Oh, that's a waste!

    Billy Sharp reverses a neat ball to Conor Hourihane behind the Bristol City defence but his low ball is easily cut out.

    Looked like he might have been offside but the assistant didn't put his flag up.

  19. YELLOW CARD

    Sheff Utd 1-0 Bristol City

    Sheffield United striker Billy Sharp is the fourth player to be booked in this match for time-wasting.

  20. SUBSTITUTION

    Sheff Utd 1-0 Bristol City

    Final Bristol City change.

    Tyreeq Bakinson is off and Antoine Semenyo is on.
