The Verdict

This was a crucial victory for the Blades in their race for a place in the play-offs as they were able to retain sixth-place in the league table.

Utilised as a striker in his last two league appearances, Ndiaye has managed to demonstrate that he is more than capable of delivering the goods in this particular role.

As well as scoring in yesterday's win over Cardiff, Ndiaye registered a pass success rate of 100% in this fixture as he recorded a WhoScored match rating of 7.03.

By producing positive performances in his side's upcoming clashes with Queens Park Rangers and Fulham, the Frenchman could potentially help the club qualify for the play-offs as they are currently in a healthy position in the second-tier.
