United were looking to extend their unbeaten run to 10 games, while visitors Rotherham came into the match on the back of six without defeat.The home side started the game on the front foot and their early pressure paid off as defender O’Connell opened the scoring in the fifth minute.A low Ollie Norwood corner from the left side found its way to O’Connell who finished like an established striker, sweeping home past the helpless Marek Rodak.The visitors grew into the game after conceding, putting pressure on the Blades’ rear-guard with multiple crosses before Ben Wiles’ long-range effort was comfortably saved by Henderson.United could have doubled their lead at the 20-minute mark as Scott Hogan slid David McGoldrick through on goal but he fired wide after dancing past a defender in the box.The hosts’ chances then improved in the 28th minute as Vaulks was sent off for a lunging challenge on George Baldock after the Rotherham captain had lost possession on the halfway line.The visitors immediately dropped into two banks of four in defence and midfield, with Michael Smith isolated up front in a backs to the wall performance for the Millers.United had chances to double the lead before the break as John Fleck’s drilled shot was well saved by Rodak.Hogan had the ball in the net but his effort was ruled out after the referee adjudged the ball to have crossed the byline before Baldock’s cross.United failed to press home their advantage in numbers at the start of the second half, as Rotherham were happy to surrender possession and wait for opportunities on the counter-attack.Fleck then had another tame effort that dribbled wide of the mark, before McGoldrick’s shot on the turn went straight at keeper Rodak.The hosts were starting to find their rhythm on the hour, as McGoldrick spurned two chances in three minutes. 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.
