3 things we clearly learnt about Sheffield United after their 2-1 win over Birmingham
It was a good night for Sheffield United on Friday, as they claimed a 2-1 win over Birmingham City at St Andrew’s.

Having conceded the opening goal on the hour mark, the Blades were somewhat up against the clock if they wanted to get a result, but they were able to react quickly with Sharp equalising just minutes later, giving them the perfect foundations to go and claim the win.
That is the third time this season the Blades have won after going behind, and if they can continue to show that sort of resilience, they are going to be a threat for teams right until the end for the rest of the season.
Billy Sharp keeps on going
One man who is unlikely to want to forget the events of the past week any time soon, is Billy Sharp.
Having become the Championship’s record scorer in the Blades’ win at Peterborough last time out, the striker then added to that tally again on Friday with that crucial equaliser, which came just a day before his 36th
