Harvey Barnes scorcher earns points for Leicester at Sheffield United
Harvey Barnes came off the bench to seal Leicester’s first win of the season, lashing in the decisive goal here a matter of minutes after Sheffield United had given themselves hope of taking a point. Ollie McBurnie had come off the bench to equalise for the home side, who trailed at half-time to a goal by Jamie Vardy. But Barnes, sent on for Dennis Praet six minutes earlier, ensured a thoroughly satisfaction conclusion for the visitors.Vardy was more pleased than most after being booed on his return to the city of his birth on account of his childhood allegiance to United’s local rivals. Sheffield Wednesday have, of course, grown to regret their decision to turn Vardy away when he was a teenage hopeful on their books and some Blades fans may rue abusing him here. Because when James Maddison released him with a delicious pass in the 38th minute, Vardy thrashed the ball into the net with a vengeance. Until then the contest had been tight.
