'We needed to be close to our best to win' - Wilder

Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder spoke to BBC Radio Sheffield after his side's 4-0 win over Stoke City.

"We always knew we'd have to be good today but there's been a feeling that this was moving forward," he said

"You can do all the blocks and all the runs but the basic is a good delivery and go and attack it and I'm delighted for Mark.

"When we were getting criticised and we weren't winning games of football I knew were nudging it forward. It took a bit of time but the bit in the middle has been pretty good.

"Both boxes decide games against dangerous opposition and we needed to be close to or at our best to get any kind of result. It looks favourable from our point of view and we'll take that but we've had to earn the right to win a game of football."
