Hull City 0-2 Sheffield United: Oli McBurnie and Sander Berge get the goals to move the Blades top of the Championship table
- Scotland striker Oli McBurnie put the visiting Blades in front after 20 minutes
- Sander Berge’s goal secured the win with 15 minutes left at the KC Stadium
- The result takes Sheffield United top of the table with 17 points from eight games
- The match was disrupted by an invader on the pitch and a flare in the stands
Oli McBurnie, who could scarcely buy a goal for two years, now cannot stop scoring them as Sheffield United surged back to the Championship summit in style.
The Scotland striker struck in the 20th minute before Norway midfielder Sander Berge sealed victory in the final quarter to reinforce the Blades’ growing status as promotion favourites.
Emerging victorious away from home a tense Yorkshire derby against an upwardly mobile Hull City side demonstrated once again that Paul Heckingbottom’s side could take some stopping this season.
The scars of last season’s play-off semi-final defeat to Nottingham Forest are healing and McBurnie is proving a key figure in their bid to reach the Premier League.
Oli McBurnie scored the opening goal for Sheffield United on their trip to Hull’s KC Stadium
After two difficult years plagued by injuries, illnesses and poor form during which he scored just two goals, he is finally showing why the Blades paid Swansea £20million for him three summers ago.
