Norwich 0-1 Sheffield United: Second-half strike from James McAtee seals all three points for the Blades at Carrow Road... as Paul Heckingbottom's take another big step towards promotion

Sheffield United took a huge step towards a return to the Premier League as they recorded a hard-fought 1-0 win over Norwich at Carrow Road.

A second-half effort from James McAtee, which the hosts felt should have been ruled out for offside, settled a scrappy encounter which produced few thrills and spills - but yielded a priceless victory for the visitors.

With Middlesbrough losing at Neil Warnock's Huddersfield, the Blades are now six points clear of their nearest rivals with a game in hand and in pole position to join runaway leaders Burnley in the top flight next season.
