WATCH: 'We were full value for Sheffield United win' says Walsall boss Jon Whitney
The win completed a hat-trick of successes over United for the Saddlers this season, and Whitney said: “Huge credit to my players.
“They executed the game plan to a tee. As a manager it’s a rare occurrence when you get every player either an eight or a nine out of 10.

“They have looked dominant. But I thought second half in particular we dominated the game. We rolled them over. Away from home when we beat them it was a bit fortuitous. But I thought today we thoroughly deserved the win against the team top of the table.”
