Here’s how we rated the Blades players...
5. Kieron Freeman - 7
Superb covering header prevented O’Brien from levelling the scores with around ten minutes to go Photo: Simon Bellis
6. Ben Osborn - 7
Started at left-back before switching to central midfielder later in the game. Another who looked desperate to impress and got forward at will down the left hand side Photo: Simon Bellis
7. Oliver Norwood - 9
Superb throughout. Looked like he was playing on a different pitch as he sprayed the ball beautifully and then capped his display with a deserved goal, a top finish into the bottom corner Photo: Simon Bellis
8. Mo Besic - 8
Summed up the quality of the match when he was penalised for a foul throw but then lit it up when he scored the opener, a real quality strike on his left foot Photo: Simon Bellis
