Middlesbrough ended Sheffield United's excellent run of form with a fine 2-0 win in the Championship.
Recalled Boro striker Duncan Watmore took just eight minutes to vindicate Neil Warnock's selection as he fired into the top corner left-footed from 15 yards.
Iliman Ndiaye struck the post for the Blades after half an hour and the visitors were made to rue the miss as seven minutes later Paddy McNair blasted in Boro's second from 20 yards out.
The hosts did well to limit United to half-chances in the second period as they recorded just their second Championship win in eight matches.
