He fired over from the edge of the area after patient build-up play, before Fleck put him through on goal but Rodak closed him down well to deny him. The ball then fell back to the striker but he chipped over the bar from close range.The Blades were dominating the game, finding space with an extra man, and the pressure paid dividends as Duffy doubled their advantage in the 74th minute.Quick thinking from Fleck from a corner meant he found Duffy with time to shoot as he rifled an unstoppable shot into the top corner.The home side continued to create chances in search of a third goal but had already done enough to take all three points.
