Sharp’s 122nd Championship goal now sets him above any other player in the second tier as the Blades recorded back-to-back wins in the league, despite losing striker Rhian Brewster to injury in the first half.
Here’s how we rated United’s players as the Blades moved back up to 11th in the table.
5. Jack Robinson 7
Jumped into a tackle at 2-0 in the last 10 minutes as if the game depended on it. Another solid shift at LCB from the Liverpudlian Photo: David Klein
6. Rhys Norrington-Davies 6.5
Solid rather than spectacular but did what he had to do, and put a couple of inviting crosses in from the left as well Photo: David Klein
7. Ollie Norwood 8
A beauty of a cross early on almost resulted in a tap in for Sharp at the back post, but he just couldn't stretch far enough. Put his foot in and used it well when he won it, too. Saw a thunderous shot deflected behind that looked to be heading somewhere close to the Posh top corner Photo: David Klein

Accepted an invitation from the visiting fans to shoot in the first half, but couldn't quite keep it on target. Played some nice passes and some meaty tackles to win the ball back, too Photo: David Klein
