Billy Sharp speaks of 'huge relief' as his 100th league goal for Sheffield United finally gives them their first win of the Premier League season

Billy Sharp reached a career milestone on Tuesday against Newcastle, but he will mostly be thankful that Sheffield United have finally got a win under their belts.

The Blades were a man up for the entire second half after Ryan Fraser saw red before the break, and their good play was rewarded when the referee pointed to the penalty spot.

Sharp converted the spot kick, earning his 100th career goal for the club, and spoke of the 'huge relief' of hanging onto the lead after they secured the win.
