A miserable night for Chris Wilder was compounded by an embarrassing incident - with the Sheffield United boss sent off for kicking the ball into the crowd and hitting a fan. As he was walking towards the tunnel for the interval, Wilder booted a loose ball in anger as it bounced towards him. The referee Adam Herczeg sent Wilder off and footage showed the manager looking incredulously at the official. The incident was even more bizarre in that Sheffield United were leading at half-time and Southampton's Adam Armstrong had just missed a penalty. That brace was enough to consign Sheffield United to defeat and they remain rooted to the foot of the Championship with just three points on the board.
