Play-offs Championship: Iliman Ndiaye and Sheffield United eliminated on penalties by Nottingham!

While he had managed to push Nottingham Forest on penalties, Sheffield United was finally beaten by an excellent goalkeeper. The Blades will not play in the Premier League next season.

It’s a very sad defeat for Sheffield United. Beaten at home in the first leg of the semi-finals of the Premier League play-offs (1-2), Paul Heckingbottom’s men managed to come back by winning this Tuesday evening at the City Ground, ahead of Nottingham Forest, after extra time (2-1).

But against the Congolese international goalkeeper, Brice Samba, who already disgusted them during the meeting, Ilman Ndiaye’s partners could not do anything during the penalty shootout. Only Sander Berge and the young Senegalese midfielder managed to deceive the aformer goalkeeper of Olympique de Marseille.

Thus, Sheffield United will have to return to the Championship next season to try to return to the Premier League. For their part, Forest, who are seeking a return to the top flight for the first time in 17 years, will play this ticket at Wembley on May 29 against Huddersfield. Naby Sarr’s team eliminated Luton Town on Monday 16 May.
