Wes Foderingham shares message as he reflects on Sheffield United’s latest victory
Sheffield United goalkeeper Wes Foderingham has taken to Instagram to reflect on his side’s latest performance in the Championship.
Foderingham helped his side seal a 2-0 victory over Barnsley by producing an assured display at Bramall Lane.
The keeper was called into action in the first-half of this clash as he made an excellent save to deny Matty Wolfe from opening the scoring for Barnsley.
The Blades took the lead in the 56th minute as Sander Berge bundled home from close range after being teed up by Conor Hourihane.
Morgan Gibbs-White then doubled his side’s advantage as he latched onto a pass from Oliver McBurnie before taking the ball past goalkeeper Brad Collins and slotting into an empty net.
Barnsley went close to netting what would have been a consolation in the closing stages of the game as Carlton Morris’ header hit the woodwork.
As a result of this triumph, the Blades climbed into the play-off places.
Paul Heckingbottom’s side will be looking to build upon this victory when they take on Stoke City following the international break.
After participating in yesterday’s game, Foderingham took to Instagram to reflect on the club’s latest display.
The keeper posted: “3 points.
“Clean sheet.
“Few days rest now over the international break ready for the final 8 games of the season.”
