OLIVER NORWOOD has heard all the jokes about Sheffield United being the next Derby.
Of them being written off as relegation certainties and tipped to take the Rams’ tag as the ‘worst team in Premier League history’.
He is aware of the rumors about Paul Heckingbottom being replaced by ex-Blades boss Chris Wilder.
So when Norwood scored a winning penalty deep into added time at the Kop end, the raucous celebrations were understandable.
United took one point from their first 10 games and have looked too bad to stay up at times. Take their 8-0 home mauling by Newcastle or 5-0 stuffing at Arsenal.
Now the Blades are finally up and running thanks to their long-serving midfielder, who kept his cool to fire home for their first win of the season.
