Sheffield United had been accused of throwing in the towel in their battle for survival. On this evidence, there is plenty of fight left in Chris Wilder's side yet.
A week on from the dismal drubbing by Aston Villa, the Blades recorded their first league victory on the road this season as they ripped up the formbook and cut the gap to 17th-placed Luton to seven points.
'There was a steely attitude and a desire to go a little way in putting what went wrong last week into today's performance and we did,' Wilder said.
