Sheffield United have been the revelation of the Premier League and the Blades' impressive 1-1 draw against Tottenham Hotspur was another feather in Chris Wilder's cap. Going into the game, Wilder's side had the joint best defensive record and league and occupied a spot in the top-six, a position that reflects their on-field performances this season.

In 12 top-flights games this season. Sheffield have overcome a 2-0 deficit to draw the game at Stamford Bridge against Chelsea, were a Dean Henderson blunder away from frustrating the European Champions Liverpool and registered a well-deserved victory against Arsenal.

The away side's mental fortitude was on display once again, as they refused to let the disallowed goal define their day. David McGoldrick was disallowed after consultation with the VAR, as John Lundstram was adjudged to have been marginally offside but they kept pushing and scored a deserved equaliser.

Sheffield's style of play and mental fortitude has earned them plaudits universally and their ability to dig deep and grind out results has put them in a fantastic position to consolidate their status as a Premier League club.
