United lost after opening the scoring for the first time this season, with three goals in the final 18 minutes turning a 1-0 win into a crushing 3-1 defeat. Chris Wilder ’s side came flying out the blocks with Illan Meslier’s own-goal the culmination of an away side on the ropes, with Bramall Lane rocking after 25 minutes.

Ao Tanaka and Joel Piroe struck late goals as Leeds snatched a 3-1 win at promotion rivals Sheffield United to extend their lead at the top of the Championship.

It took them five clear of Sheffield United and seven ahead of Burnley with 12 matches remaining. They are a massive 13 points in front of fourth-placed Sunderland and have an incredible goal difference of plus 50 which is far better than any of their rivals.
