Sheffield United pick up their first win since the Premier League restarted by impressively beating Tottenham to keep alive their hopes of playing European football next season.
Sheffield United picked up their first win since the Premier League restarted as they produced a hugely impressive display against Tottenham to keep alive their hopes of playing European football next season.
And an ultimately comfortable victory was completed in the closing stages as Oli McBurnie swept in for his fifth goal of the season. Their lack of attacking threat had not helped their cause as the Blades failed to manage more than a single shot on target in each of those three league fixtures. From then on, Sheffield United looked much more like their old self - strong in defence and capable in attack - and the win, particularly given the strength of the opponents it came against, will provide a much needed boost as they look to claim a top-six finish - something that would be an incredible accomplishment on their first season back in the top flight.
Despite that disappointment the visitors still had plenty of time to turn things around. However, Spurs were lethargic and struggled to find their rhythm, while in the second half they were simply outworked by their determined opponents. Tottenham have lost their first Premier League away game against a promoted side since a 1-0 defeat to Queens Park Rangers in April 2012, ending a run of 23 such matches .
