It was difficult to put a price on this victory for Sheffield United. Chris Wilder’s side had surprisingly lost their last three games in a hugely damaging blow to their automatic promotion hopes. But Gustavo Hamer’s typically impish first-half opener and Ben Brereton Díaz’s late strike were enough to revive home spirits on a soggy evening at Bramall Lane.
Crucially, victory lifted United back to within five points of Burnley, who won 2-1 at Watford earlier in the day, ahead of the Blades’ important trip to Turf Moor on Easter Monday.
