It was his third Premier League goal in a season that has warranted only seven starts since the 23-year-old's £20m switch from Swansea in the summer. The Blades have been superb since returning to the Premier League but few would have banked on them occupying such a lofty position at Christmas. Sheffield United have won three consecutive top-flight matches for the first time since they won four in succession under Dave Bassett between May and August 1993. Sheffield United striker Oliver McBurnie scored his first away goal in the Premier League in what was his 16th appearance on the road in the competition. Both are back at it on Boxing Day, with Brighton travelling to Tottenham in the 12:30 GMT kick-off and Sheffield United welcoming Watford at 15:00.
