'˜Part of the job' '“ Sheffield United's Dean Henderson breaks his silence after Manchester United loanee's mistake cost Blades in Yorkshire derby against Leeds
After a poor back-pass from John Egan, Henderson's attempted left-foot pass went straight to Leeds' Jack Clarke and the substitute showed excellent composure to find an unmarked Hernandez in front of an open goal.
That 82nd-minute mistake proved costly in the derby, although United boss Chris Wilder insisted afterwards that the Manchester United loanee '˜would be fine'.
