Sheffield United 3 Tottenham Hotspur 1 - player ratings

After a difficult restart to the season, the Blades showed some encouraging signs against Arsenal in the FA Cup, and built on them by beating Tottenham Hotspur 3-1 with goals from Berge, Lys Mousset and Oli McBurnie.

The win takes them up to seventh in the table, above Spurs.

Chief football writer Stuart Rayner gives his verdict on the Blades' individual performances.

Dean Henderson – a low Moussa Sissoko shot was about all he had to do 6

Chris Basham – could have struggled with Son and Berwijn swapping positions, but the latter was substituted at half-time after little impact 7

John Egan – coped well with Harry Kane 7

Jack Robinson – steady performance from a player settling in well 6

George Baldock – had a hand in the third goal 7

Sander Berge – scored a maiden goal, made a goal in probably his best Blades performance 7

Oliver Norwood – some good passing in midfield 6

Ben Osborn – a good full Premier League debut, involved in the second goal 7

Enda Stevens – laid on the ball for Mousset to score the important second 7

David McGoldrick – a shot into the side netting shortly before his withdrawal but a subdued performance 6

Oliver McBurnie – the switch to drop him deeper was inspired and he fully deserved his goal 8

Substitutes:

Lys Mousset (for McGoldrick, 63) – first goal since December 1 was easy but still needed taking 7

K Freeman (for McBurnie, 90) – N/A

Not used: Sharp, Jagielka,, Moore, Rodwell, Zivkovic.
