Sheffield United produced the perfect away performance at Elland Road with a hard-fought 1-0 win over promotion rivals, Leeds United. 

Leeds dominated the first-half of the game, but the Blades stood firm and took their only notable chance of the game with just 20 minutes remaining.

After stealing possession from Leeds' Liam Cooper, Billy Sharp set Chris Basham up, with the makeshift midfielder firing clinically into the net to spark jubilant scenes in the away end.

Sheffield United are now a point clear of Leeds in the Championship table and will be hoping to build on this impressive showing after the international break.

Norwood has been key to the success of this Blades team and Chris Wilder will be hoping that he can continue his run of impressive performances as the season heads towards a conclusion.

The result against Leeds is even more impressive given that they kept another clean sheet, which made it seven consecutive clean sheets from goalkeeper, Dean Henderson who is looking in inspired form recently.

They are next in action against play-off chasing, Bristol City in what could be a potentially tricky fixture for Sheffield United.

The Verdict: 

What a result this is for Sheffield United.

I had my doubts about Chris Wilder's side going into this one, but they produced an excellent performance at both ends of the pitch.

Promotion is their's to lose now.
