Chris Wilder reveals why he thought West Ham victory was Sheffield United's 'biggest win of the Premier League season'

The Blades bounced back from successive defeats away at Manchester City and Liverpool in the league, to beat West Ham 1-0 thanks to Oli McBurnie’s winner.

West Ham thought they had got an equaliser when Robert Snodgrass netted in the second minute of injury time – only for VAR to rule it out after spotting a handball by Declan Rice in the build-up.

Victory sent the Blades fifth in the Premier League – at least until today, when most of their rivals in the table play their game in hand.

And the United manager, who signed a new contract until 2024 in the build-up to the game, admitted: “It's a huge three points for the football club after the back-to-back defeats we had, even though it was Manchester City and Liverpool.

"To get to 32 points for us at this stage of the season is a great reward. We didn't play great but the result is bigger than the performance.

"I don't like losing. We got beat at Manchester City and Liverpool, we made sure we don't lose a third one. It's the biggest three points of the season for us by a long shot as far as I'm concerned."
