Blades manager Danny Wilson told 91热爆 Radio Sheffield:
Blades defence was 'immense' - Wilson
"It was a fantastic game. We had some terrific football from both sides, we've had chances from both sides, we've seen some fantastic goalkeeping. And, thankfully, from our point of view, we've got the all important goal.
"It was one of those games where we could have won it, we could have lost it, we could have drawn it, but thankfully we've managed to see it through.
"We had some immense defending at times and we had to do. That ball was raining in our box from long throws and free kicks etc and you could have to put your body on the line."
