Sheffield United finally ends its losing streak
Sheffield United broke a six-match losing streak that has left it bottom of the EFL Championship table with a 1-0 victory at Oxford United.
Callum O'Hare scored the decisive goal in the 65th minute, and the Blades were thankful to the woodwork when Greg Leigh hit the post in the 89th minute, allowing them to seal a first win since 12 May.
"It felt great for the players and the supporters," boss Chris Wilder said.
"It's been a tough period for everybody and I've watched from afar and I've watched from close by, especially over the last couple of weeks.
"The players want to leave everything out there, which they did. I thought the second-half performance was more like us, more composed, more calm, more belief - I thought there were some really good performances out there second half.
"I think you've got to accept that we're on a losing streak, so it's not going to be free-flowing.
"We didn't give the supporters the result they deserved last week - the turnout was so humbling in terms of 30-odd thousand coming to watch a losing team.
"Today was a bit scrappy, a bit bitty first half, but we calmed them down at half-time, believed in the process, believed in how we go about trying to win a game of football with and without the football, and I thought they showed all good qualities this afternoon."
