Sheffield United returned to winning ways with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Watford at Bramall Lane on Saturday.

A second-half own goal from Ryan Porteous was enough to separate the two sides in a largely uneventful contest. The Blades, still sitting second in the Championship table, have re-established their seven-point cushion over third-placed Middlesbrough, who have played a game more.

Tottenham Hotspur has responded well following disappointing results against Leicester City and AC Milan.

After a 2-0 victory over West Ham United and a home win over Chelsea, Harry Kane increased his goal tally to 268 goals in the Premier League – making him Spurs’ all-time leading scorer.

Tottenham is now preparing for three successive away games in three competitions, starting with Wednesday’s trip to Barnsley.
