Burnley 1-0 Sheffield United: Ben Mee's header continues Clarets recent improvement

Burnley's recent Premier League improvement continued as they edged to a narrow victory over bottom side Sheffield United at Turf Moor.

Captain Ben Mee's first-half header from a corner was enough to separate the two lowest-scoring sides in the top flight.

Sean Dyche's side have now won three of their past five games and rise to 16th, while the Blades remain bottom with only two points.

In a tight affair, Ashley Barnes and Chris Wood both went close to opening the scoring for the hosts but saw their close-range efforts superbly saved by visiting goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale.
