Sheff Utd (1) 3 Grimsby (0) 2
Marcus Bent recovered his shooting boots with a brace in Sheffield United's
3-2 win over Grimsby. George Santos put the Blades in front just
before half time, Steve Livingstone levelled and then Bent struck twice
in the 50th and 59th minutes. The Mariners had Paul Groves sent off in the
71st minute for a professional foul but David Nielsen ensured a tense finale
with his goal after 74 minutes.
