Sheffield claim their first Premier League win of the season

After winning their first game of the season in the FA Cup last Saturday (2-3 at Bristol Rovers), Sheffield United achieved their first victory of the season in the Premier League on Tuesday by beating Newcastle 1-0.

Despite leading almost half a league, the team led by Chris Wilder had not yet been able to release its record of victories, signing a balance of 2 draws and 15 losses that relegated it to the last place in the standings.

A solitary goal from a Billy Sharp penalty in the 73rd minute ended the negative streak of a Sheffield that also links two consecutive wins and that dreams of achieving permanence.
