Sheffield United beat Arsenal 1-0 at Bramall Lane.
Sheffield United earned a 1-0 win over Arsenal last night in the Premier League.
Lys Mousset scored the winner and the Gunners were unable to breach a solid Blades backline.
Billy Sharp was among the substitutes, starring for a side he helped win promotion through from League One, to the Championship, and into the Premier League.
The veteran forward appreciated the efforts of the fans to help spur United to the win and help them hold out.
Sharp, 33, is still waiting for his first start after winning promotion. He has five substitute appearances so far.
The Blades forward worked hard when he came on, chasing down every lost ball and tried to buy his team more time.
Sharp played for the final 34 minutes against Arsenal after he replaced goalscorer Mousset.
He managed 21 touches, creating one chance and winning three aerial duels, and two tackles.
Chris Wilder may doubt his ability to contribute as a starter, but Sharp’s commitment to the cause is not in question.
