33 brilliant pictures of Sheffield United fans celebrating a big win at Portsmouth

Sheffield United boosted their hopes of a play-off place finish with a hard-fought 1-0 win away at Portsmouth.

In a crucial match at both ends of the table, the Blades were forced to absorb a great deal of pressure from a Pompey side fighting for their lives to avoid relegation to the third-tier of English football. Both sides threatened to break the deadlock in an entertaining first half, with Gustavo Hamer hitting the woodwork for the Blades before Portsmouth’s Colby Bishop had a goal ruled out.

The game proved to be a nervy affair as both sides pushed for a winner in the second half. Thankfully, for the 1,375 Unitedites that made the journey, the winner came from Andre Brooks in the final minute of the contest as the 22-year-old took his tally to five league goals for the season.

It’s a moment which could prove astronomical come the end of the season in May, and it was certaintly a goal which made the long trip back for the travelling fans much more joyful as United continue to put pressure on the team’s around them in the race for the play-offs.

Here, we have compiled some of the best pictures of supporters after an eventful afternoon of football in the south coast.
