Sheffield United 1 Blackburn Rovers 0: Reaction as Blades seal late win despite going down to 10 men

It’s the best way to win. I think the referee helped us and I think it showed everything we’ve been trying to do. We were playing third in the league, a good side.

We’ve been speaking about clean sheets and how they can help you win a point, but when you’re down to 10, it can help you get the three points as we did today.

The players will work hard and give everything, and what more can you ask for? Fans respond to that.

It’s a red, I’ve got no arguments. He got that right. It’s a penalty, I cant argue with that, but he got everything else wrong. That performance and Wes’s save meant our fans became our 11^th man in the end which was really important.

Sheffield United fans expect their players to get stuck in and I expect the same.

It’s a team from a steel town, I’m from a steel town and if you have to fight hard if you play for Sheffield United. We stood up well against a team who were in the Premier League last season and did we give them enough problems? I think we did. You saw my reaction to the red card, you could see the intent.

I don’t want to get hung up on not scoring goals. I look at the performance and I always have done. Someone has to step up in Ben’s absence, we have to find a way to score.

Early in the season we are winning those, we should have won. But give them credit, they stuck at it.

Football, bloody hell. The Blades somehow win despite being reduced to 10 men and conceding a second-half penalty. Bramall Lane rocking to the names of Hecky and Stuart McCall - stick with us for reaction, ratings and much more

AND UNITED LEAD IN INJURY TIME - a scrappy scruffy goal from close range but no one here cares, the sub scores with what surely is his first touch and the Blades are somehow ahead. Now to only see this one out!
