19 great Sheffield United fans and celebrations pictures from big win over Cardiff City

Over 27,000 were at the Lane for the 4-1 win in the lunchtime kick-off, the points picked up thanks to goals from James McAtee, Jack Robinson, Iliman Ndiaye and Ciaran Clark.

Victory maintained a five point gap between the secon-placed Blades and Luton Town in third, with United having played a game less.

Paul Heckingbottom’s side’s win was all the more impressive given that they fell behind to an early penalty, converted by Sory Kaba.

“The fact we won 4-1 after going behind shows a lot about the group. It’s not the first time in recent weeks,” said the United manager.

“It says a lot about what we are trying to do. Our message has been the same regardless of what the outside narrative is.

“Yes, Middlesbrough won again and Luton’s form is unreal. It feels strange because of the run we went on last year.
