Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder was full of praise for opening day hero Billy Sharp, after the striker's equaliser sealed a 1-1 draw with Bournemouth on Saturday.
The Blades marked their return to the top flight after a 12-year absence with a hard-fought point, but had to work for it after going behind to Chris Mepham’s close-range finish. However, the visitors earned a late equaliser, as substitute Sharp bundled home in the 88th minute to earn a point.
After the game, Wilder was full of praise for his side’s efforts. Speaking in his post-match press conference (as quoted by FourFourTwo), he said: “I was disappointed to go behind but yet again not surprised by the way my team came roaring back.
