Sheffield United signed off for the international break in perfect style this afternoon with a 2-0 victory over Luton Town at Bramall Lane. The result sees the Blades go into their two-week hiatus joint top of the Championship table, alongside Sunderland, after their fifth win in six games.
Jesurun Rak-Sakyi was the goalscoring hero with a quality brace as United’s remarkable rearguard action added another clean sheet to the tally - a sixth in a row for Michael Cooper in goal. Here’s how we rated United’s players on another good afternoon at the Lane this season...
9. Rhian Brewster 7.5
Came into the side for a rare start in place of Hamer and started in the No.10 position - and to good effect, too. He was heavily involved as United started brightly and picked up an assist for Rak-Sakyi's second goal, going close himself with a well-struck drive from distance that Kaminski palmed away Photo: George Wood
10. Callum O'Hare 6.5
Moved out to the left to accommodate Brewster but still buzzed about with his usual freedom and intent. Had a good sight of goal when Rak-Sakyi played it across for him but he couldn't get in position quick enough before the chance was snuffed out. Never gave up trying to make things happen right to the end but it was one of those days where not much seemed to come off despite much effort | Sportimage
11. Kieffer Moore 6.5
The big front man lost possession a couple of times but on one of the occasions he fashioned a chance for himself by pressing well, before seeing Kaminski block his near-post shot after O'Hare's lay off. He offered United a real physical presence in both boxes and ran his blood to water before being replaced by Campbell to a good ovation from a crowd who seemed to appreciate his efforts | Sportimage
12. Subs: Andre Brooks
Came on for Rak-Sakyi and looked bright but also made the wrong decision a couple of times on the ball | Sportimage
