Sheffield United reversed the roles of last weekend as they saw off Preston North End at Deepdale to leapfrog promotion rivals Leeds into second spot in the Championship.

The Blades got a valuable three points on the board thanks to David McGoldrick's goal from close range, and they move one point ahead of their Yorkshire rivals in what is becoming a fierce battle for the second automatic promotion place and a path to the Premier League.

Chris Wilder's men were good enough value for their win and although Dean Henderson was called upon to make a few good saves, their ever impressive defensive record saw them in good stead for the remainder of the game following their opener.

United's fans are now full of hope once more that they might just sneak that all important second place, and on a day when rivals Wednesday saw their own play-off hopes almost extinguished and West Brom also lose at Milwall, it proved a fruitful day all around for the Blades.
