Goals from Oli McBurnie and Sander Berge sealed the Blades’ first away victory of the season and sent them back to the summit of the early Championship standings.
But a crucial first-half save from Wes Foderingham was also key, as United ran out deserved winners at the MKM Stadium. The only negative was an early injury to key defender Max Lowe.
Here’s how we rated Paul Heckingbottom’s men…

6. Max Lowe 6
Was an early injury casualty after limping off, possibly after haring back after Estupinan in an attempt to prevent him dragging the hosts back on level terms. Photo: Simon Bellis
7. Ollie Norwood 7
Was heavily indebted to Foderingham for bailing him out after another short-corner routine gone wrong saw him robbed as the last man and Estipinan sent racing clear. But he didn't hide, kept demanding the ball and did his job both offensively and defensively. Photo: Nigel French
8. Sander Berge 8
The subject of so much transfer speculation showed no signs of him affecting his game early on and he put daylight between the two sides with a typical show of class with his goal. A true privilege to see a player of his class in the Championship. Photo: Nigel French
