51'
Not much sign of the Blades yet, either, though.
50'
Are Villa rattled? They've yet to show much since the goal went in.
49'
Kozluk winds up for a long-throw - finds Williamson whose cross lands on top of the netting.

WARD SCORES! He drills low into the middle of the goal, and Friedel opts to dive. Game on!

PENALTY FOR SHEFFIELD UNITED! CUELLAR BRINGS DOWN WILLIAMSON! Well, well well! It's a strange decision - Cuellar seemed to get the ball, and the referee took a moment before deciding to award it - but it's a real chance to get back into the game!
46'
Good angled run from Albrighton - who picks out Young for an attempted curler - too high on this occasion.

Perfect time to check on all the other goals in the FA Cup this afternoon -

HALF-TIME: Villa created three good opportunities, scored two of them, and have a comfortable lead. But they've not been convincing. United have had the better of play, but made little in the way of chances, and find themselves with a mountain to climb in the second half.
45'
Villa playing out this time in relative calm until Bannan gives a ball away and then fouls trying to get it back.
44'
Just one minute of stoppage time to be played.

The ball pings around the Villa penalty area as the visitors do a poor job of clearing, and Parrino fires a warning shot with a crisp long-range strike which is only narrowly wide! Reo-Coker culpable in that mess.
42'
Villa win a throw as they try to escape their own half. They've not created a surfeit of chances, but they've made the most of the ones they have had.
41'
Young teases a corner into the six-yard box but Simonsen stands tall and times his leap well to claim it.
40'
Agbonlahor rises to his feet, and the referee has a quick word with them both.
40'
Agbonlahor down - he robbed Ertl with a crunching tackle of his own, only to be felled by the defender soon after.
39'
Can Micky Adams inspire United to a second-half comeback? This is exactly where they found themselves against Doncaster last time around.
37'
Free-kick from the byline is worked towards Bannan, but his shot on goal from the D of the penalty area is shanked to the right.

GREAT SAVE FROM SIMONSEN! Agbonlahor denied as the striker broke into the penalty area. The Blades defence stood off him, and a good full-stretch save was necessary to keep the hosts in the game.
35'
Albrighton's efforts to keep the ball in play after Agbonlahor's crossfield pass are in vain - the assistant close by and raises his flag.
34'
Houllier doesn't look especially happy, but the scoreline is great news for the Villa boss. Things to work on in the performance, but he also is in desperate need of results.
