Southampton 3 Sheffield United 1 - player ratings

The Blades had the better of the first half, but ultimately ran out of legs, as they have done in the season as a whole.

To finish ninth in their first season back in the Premier League was a brilliant achievement, and it was only a pity they could not finish on more of a high.

Instead, Southampton came from 1-0 down at half-time to win 3-1.

Stuart Rayner assesses how the visiting players performed.

Dean Henderson – beaten at his near post by Che Adams 6

Chris Basham – not as his best but he has been outstanding this season 5

John Egan – caught Danny Ings for the penalty 6

Jack Robinson – outstanding tackle on Adams 7

George Baldock – usual solid display 6

John Lundstram – great finish by the goal and only denied a second by Alex McCarthy's excellent save 7

Sander Berge – poor touch let in Adams 5

John Fleck – not the usual influence from arguably the Blades' best performer this season 6

Enda Stevens – made the goal 7

Billy Sharp – no shortage of effort but failed to take two good chances 5

Oliver McBurnie – made what would have been John Lundstram's second goal but for Alex McCarthy's excellent save 6

Substitutes:

Richairo Zivkovic (for McBurnie, 51) – needed a good performance in the last game of his loan but was quiet 5

Leon Clarke (for Sharp, 69) – like Zivkovic to an extent, came on when his side had run out of steam 5

Oliver Norwood (for Basham, 80) – good to see him on the pitch for the 38th time in this season's Premier League 6

Not used: Jagielka, K Freeman, Osborn, Moore, Rodwell.
