9. February 2019 – Villa 3, Blades 3
A bizarre game that could have been catastrophic for United’s promotion hopes, if they were not as mentally strong as they are. Billy Sharp’s hat-trick had them 3-0 up after an hour, before three goals in the final 10 minutes – and an equaliser in injury time – saw United return home from the second city with only a point.

10. December 2019 – Blades 2, Villa 0
John Fleck utterly outclassed his Scottish teammate – and midfield rival – John McGinn, as the Blades beat Villa 2-0. Fleck scored twice – including a rare strike with his right foot – after being brilliantly teed up by John Lundstram and David McGoldrick. His first goal also came from a backheel by centre-half, Chris Basham! Photo: Simon Bellis
