Ben Davies shares his reaction to Sheffield United’s dramatic 1-0 win over Blackburn Rovers

Ben Davies snatched all three points for Sheffield United as they battled on with ten men against Blackburn Rovers on Wednesday evening.

Wes Foderingham denied Reda Khadra from 12 yards on 72 minutes in a key moment in the match, just six minutes after Charlie Goode was shown a straight red card.

The late goal may have been all the sweeter for Ben Davies, having lost his place to Jack Robinson in recent weeks and ensuring the Blades carried on their incredible run to remain inside the play-off places.

Davies took to Instagram to express his emotions after the scenes of the jubilation at Bramall Lane.

He wrote: “Tough times don’t last, tough people do.

“Let’s go Blades.”

Blackburn are now five games without a win, failing to score in that period also ahead of a crunch encounter with Queens Park Rangers on Saturday lunchtime.

Ben Brereton Diaz is a huge loss for Blackburn, however against the Blades they
