Just seconds later, Hugill flicked on a ball which saw Chiedozie Ogbene in a foot race with visiting ‘keeper Wes Foderingham, and the Rotherham flyer got a toe to the ball before the Blades stopper, but Foderingham did just enough to divert the ball away from goal. The New York crowd were at fever pitch, in a fast and furious start, and Taylor’s side had the first openings when Coventry threaded a ball to Fosu, whose path to goal was blocked abruptly by a Blades defender, who stood his ground in the box, but the referee took no further action.
