Sheffield United player ratings v Portsmouth as arm-wrestle clash settled by huge moment from 7/10 starboy

Sheffield United left it late to claim a huge three points from a frantic game on the south coast against struggling Portsmouth. The home side saw a number of chances go begging in the first half and were then made to pay when Andre Brooks touched home at the back post late on.

United earlier hit the post through Gus Hamer but Pompey will rue their own big moments that went amiss before Brooks came up with the decisive touch to get United back to winning ways at the first attempt after defeat on Monday to Boro.
