A first-half goal from captain Billy Sharp gave Sheffield United a 1-0 win against Huddersfield at Bramall Lane, putting his side level on points with Championship leaders Burnley, who have a game in hand.

Back from the World Cup and straight into the starting line-up, Iliman Ndiaye played an inch-perfect pass through the Huddersfield defence and the skipper dinked the ball smartly over the onrushing Lee Nicholls.
