Sheffield United missed the prospect to take prime spot within the Championship as they suffered a shock 3-0 loss at house to struggling Hull on Friday.

It took Hull’s Matt Crooks simply six minutes to open the scoring at Bramall Lane with a effective first-time effort earlier than Matty Jacob doubled the lead within the sixty fourth minute courtesy of a close-range end.

A win that took the Tigers out of the relegation zone was assured two minutes from time when Harrison Burrows deflected a cross in for an own-goal.

Defeat left the Blades in second place, a degree behind leaders and Yorkshire rivals Leeds, who face fellow promotion contenders Burnley on Monday.

Third-placed Burnley will go degree on factors with Leeds in the event that they win at Turf Moor.
