Decisive figure snatches it late for Sheffield United

Andre Brooks won it in the 90th minute with a close-range finish as Sheffield United beat Portsmouth 1-0 at Fratton Park. It was his only touch in the box.

Earlier, the midfielder had tried his range from distance, driving a right-footed effort just wide (68.).

Then, as the Blades broke at pace, Brooks arrived to turn in from inside the six-yard box, steering low into the bottom right after a fast break (90.).

He finished with two attempts and one possession won in the attacking third, and made that single touch in the box count. The numbers underline a ruthlessly efficient display.

The Blades' compact shape absorbed pressure and sprang forward, meaning his late run into the area caught Portsmouth open and settled a tight game.

The Blades host Sheffield Wednesday next. Portsmouth visit Charlton Athletic next.
