Sheffield United: ‘Right decision to send off Leeds United goalkeeper Kiko Casilla’ says Blades captain Billy Sharp
Casilla saw red in injury time of the Blades’ 1-0 victory, for bringing down Sharp after he had pushed the ball around the former Real Madrid goalkeeper.
Leeds defender Pontus Jansson went in goal for the rest of the game, which was decided by Chris Basham’s second-half winner.

The win took Chris Wilder’s Blades above Leeds and into second place in the table with eight games remaining.
Its a great win away at a very good team,” the former Leeds striker added.
“They battered us in the first half hour but we stuck at it. We’ve done a job and we got three points.”
