'This is why I do it'

Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder admits he is addicted to the buzz of winning at Bramall Lane with his beloved Blades.
Callum O'Hare's winner earned United their first home victory of the season and lifted them off the bottom of the Championship and above city rivals Sheffield Wednesday on goal difference.
Wilder told BBC Radio Sheffield: "It was in the 93rd minute and I got asked the question by one of the punters. He said 'why do you do it?'. I've got to say that for about 10 seconds I scratched my head and I thought 'why do I do it?'.
"Then that roar at the final whistle, I knew then why I do it and all those who come know it, to follow your team, regardless of whether you're top of the league or at the bottom, it's for these moments. I've had a lot of moments like this and this group is trying to produce more of them.
"The players gave everything for that shirt today and everybody in the ground saw that.
"I've said to them afterwards, 'don't kid me, don't kid the punters. That's the bare minimum we need to produce'."
