What Tyrese Campbell said in 3 words after Sheffield United's 3-0 win over Sheffield Wednesday | OneFootball

The Blades striker proved to be a key difference in yet another Steel City derby

Tyrese Campbell only needed three words to sum up his feelings after helping Sheffield United to a dominant 3-0 success over Steel City rivals, Sheffield Wednesday, at Hillsborough on Sunday afternoon.

It has been an extremely difficult opening three months of the Championship season for both clubs, with the vast majority of headlines in S6 coming through off-pitch matters with takeover talks still ongoing, whilst the Blades have endured an extreme hangover after missing out on an instant return to the Premier League at the end of last term.

With both sides entering the cross-city feud inside the second-tier's relegation zone, it was an extremely different build-up in terms of storylines as to what has been the case in recent seasons, albeit United have very much, and now continue to hold the Indian sign over Wednesday, with Chris Wilder still unbeaten in this particular fixture since taking charge of his first - a historic 4-2 success at Hillsborough in September 2017.

Campbell, of course, is no stranger to the adrenaline this occasion in South Yorkshire provides those on the pitch, as well as the passion that follows on the terraces, having netted the winner in a 1-0 contest at Bramall Lane 12 months ago.

And, after a disappointing personal start to the season in terms of a goal return in comparison to last, the former Stoke City striker proved to be the scourge of the Owls once more, as his brace - with both strikes coming either side of the half-time interval - and Tom Cannon's first goal of the campaign helping down Henrik Pedersen's side in front of the television cameras.

Coming into this fixture, the Blades had been winless since 21st October, when they defeated Blackburn Rovers 3-1 at Ewood Park, with Campbell's last strike before the Steel City derby also coming in the aforementioned victory in East Lancashire.

It was United who were the dominant force throughout the 90-plus minutes, despite the fact Wednesday supporters entered the occasion with some hope that they could finally be on the right side of a cross-city result for the first time in 13 years and have even more to celebrate aside from Dejphon Chansiri's recent exit.

Campbell opened the scoring after 11 minutes as he coolly swept home Callum O'Hare's through ball past Ethan Horvath after Jairo Riedewald's initial interception, before putting daylight between the two sides three minutes into the second period as he simply finished past the American after Sydie Peck retrieved possession from Wednesday debutant and half-time substitute, Liam Cooper.

As is often the case, such a pivotal success led to plenty of celebrations shared between Wilder, his players and the travelling contingent in the Leppings Lane stand.

Whilst former Owls striker, Josh Windass, was amongst those critical of such goings-on, the United players posed for a celebratory photo in front of the away end after a third-straight win in the derby, with Campbell quoting it on his personal Instagram story with the caption of "No better feeling."

Sheffield United will hope to use momentum from dominant Steel City derby display in upcoming fixtures

It cannot be understated how pivotal this result may turn out to be in the context of Sheffield United's season, with it being just a fourth success in 16 games.

Two of those came back-to-back against Watford and Blackburn last month, proving that Wilder and his players are capable of backing up specific results, but they have also been unable to do just that more consistently, which will be the hope from here on in.

With there being no international breaks until March, it is a critical time in the campaign for the Blades to start climbing the table and resurrecting their campaign after a dismal start.

There will certainly be a feel-good factor in S2 following Sunday's success and performance, and they will hope to back it up on home turf against Portsmouth on Wednesday night in a critical encounter at Bramall Lane.
