Sheffield United toiled against a well-drilled Peterborough United side and it looked as though they may have to settle for a point from their trip to London Road.

However, there's no writing off this Blades team, not least their talisman up front and Billy Sharp's 88th minute goal ensured the vociferous traveling United fans came back up north with plenty to cheer following wild scenes at the end.

Chris Wilder said afterwards: "We've gone for it, we could have got caught the other way but the team's bold and brave, we're going for wins and we'd have been disappointed if we didn't come away with one this afternoon."
