Sheffield United top of the pile after holding off Luton Town’s attacking instincts
SHEFFIELD UNITED boss Chris Wilder hailed the “togetherness” of his side as they went top of the Championship after winning 1-0 at relegation-threatened Luton Town.
Anel Ahmedhodzic’s goal with 11 minutes left proved the difference on the day as the Blades moved above Leeds – who play today – to give their chances of automatic promotion another huge boost.
“They (Luton) gave their supporters something to get excited about in terms of their approach,” said Wilder.
They stuck it on us, they played forward and it was a really difficult proposition to deal with.
“We made some changes for the second half and we had to find a way to get hold of the game, had a couple of chances as well, but it was a day where you knew it was going to come on top for us and we managed to deal with that and get three points.
“It was a great finish. We lost a couple of players – Tom Cannon and Gus (Hamer) – so we had to change it around a bit.
“We changed personnel, but the togetherness of the group is incredible and that’s the reason we’re in the position that we are.
