And the striker, a club-record summer signing from Swansea City, said after the game: “It reaffirms when we are at our best we can compete with anybody in this league.

"For 70 minutes we bossed it and had a shaky 15 minutes and they punished us, so we need to be on it for 90 minutes.

"We'e never going to be scared by anyone, especially at Bramall Lane - it's a horrible place to come. We're a joy to watch."
