Sheffield United picked up a crucial three points against Leeds United at the weekend, in a result which could go a long way in deciding their fate this season.

The Blades now occupy one of the play-off places and will be hoping they can retain their place in the top two as the season heads towards a conclusion.

One man who certainly played his part in the potentially season-defining win over Leeds was Billy Sharp.

The former Whites striker made his presence felt and played a part in Leeds shot-stopper, Kiko Casilla being dismissed late on.

Sharp took his chance in the side and will be hoping to retain his place in the starting XI with just eight league games remaining.

The Blades skipper has been rested in recent weeks, which has seen his game time limited.

But Sharp seems to be making up for lost time and is going to be a crucial player for Chris Wilder’s side as the season reaches a conclusion in May.

Sharp has already made a notable contribution to their bid for promotion this season, with forward already having 22 league goals to his name.

He might have been fearing for his starting spot when he was rested for a number of games, but he certainly proven to Wilder that he should be first-choice striker for Sheffield United in the future.

If you’re a Sheffield United fan, then you’re going to be full of confidence in saying that Sharp can be the man to fire the Blades back into the Premier League.
