What Chris Wilder said about Billy Sharp's timely winner for Sheffield United against West Brom
and live on Freeview channel 276
With the game finely poised at 1-1, Rhian Brewster was being readied on the sideline to replace the United skipper when he reacted quickest to a loose ball in the box to finish and seal a much-needed victory for the Blades.
Brewster immediately re-took his place on the bench and didn't get on the pitch as United moved to within a point of second-bottom West Brom.

"Billy had done great but we needed at that time of Billy’s goal to freshen it up and Billy would have understood that.
"But I am delighted that he scored his goal and it changed the dynamic of the game."
