John Lundstram's second-half goal gave Sheffield United a 1-0 win over Crystal Palace on Sunday, in the first Premier League game at Bramall Lane for 12 years. Palace manager Roy Hodgson restored Wilfred Zaha to his starting line-up after starting him on the bench for the goalless opening-week draw against Everton, while Chris Wilder started with the same side that secured a 1-1 draw against Bournemouth. Zaha, who has been linked with a move away from the club before the European transfer window closes on September 2, was kept under control by the Sheffield defence as Palace once again struggled to create scoring opportunities. David McGoldrick missed a great opportunity to put the home side ahead just before half-time, but 25-year-old midfielder Lundstram made no mistake early in the second period, lashing the ball home after it was steered into his path by Palace goalkeeper Vicente Guaita. Lundstram's strike means he has now scored a goal in each of England's top four divisions. … [Read more...] about Watch Sheffield United vs Crystal Palace highlights

Win was for Sheffield United’s loyal fans, says Chris Wilder
0 Have your say SHEFFIELD UNITED manager Chris Wilder dedicated the Blades’ first Premier League victory in over 12 years to the supporters who stuck by the club during some lean times in League One earlier this decade. A goal just after the interval from midfielder John Lundstram saw the Bramall Lane outfit secure a precious 1-0 triumph over visiting Crystal Palace – as they claimed three points in the top-flight for the first time since a single-goal success over Watford on April 28, 2007. It was just reward for what Wilder labelled as a ‘really powerful performance’ on an afternoon when the Blades chief became the first manager to name a fully British/Irish starting XI in his first two Premier League matches since Gary Megson did so in 1995 with Norwich City.Wilder, whose side welcome Leicester City on Saturday, said: “I know more than anyone what these supporters have had to go through and what they have been served up and had … [Read more...] about Win was for Sheffield United’s loyal fans, says Chris Wilder

Sheffield United v Crystal Palace
0 Have your say OLIVER NORWOOD has never forgotten Sir Alex Ferguson’s parting words at Old Trafford. “You’re not going to make it at Manchester United,” said the Scot as the Burnley-born midfielder moved to Huddersfield Town during the summer of 2012. “But I believe one day you will play in the Premier League.” Ferguson is right on most things and he was spot on in this regard, albeit probably a few years out with Norwood having to wait until last Saturday to make his top flight bow.“Every young boy’s dream is to play in the Premier League,” said the 28-year-old. “Since I started playing football and from being in the Academy at Manchester United at six-years-old, it was all I ever wanted to do. “It has taken me a bit longer than I would have liked, but it was still a dream come true to finally play at the level everyone in the world wants to play at. A real proud moment for me and my … [Read more...] about Sheffield United v Crystal Palace
