Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder told BBC Radio Sheffield he was delighted with his side's response against Middlesbrough after accusing them of arrogance in Saturday's below-par win over Portsmouth.

"We reviewed and reflected after the weekend and they've come roaring back, so I'm delighted," he said.

"They've taken on board how we wanted to play. That was more us tonight, There was a real good feel about us.

"I thought we controlled possession, our out of possession work was excellent and we got the press spot on.

"We made it difficult for a team that dominates the majority of teams in this division and creates big chances, and I can only think of one chance second half that they had.

"We had to regroup and reset after the ridiculous decision for the penalty. There'd be five or 10 penalties a game if that was the case.

"The decision rocked us a little bit for five minutes, but we reset in the changing room at half-time and we had to keep our cool and discipline and still play, and we did that so I'm delighted.

"We had to put a big performance in tonight. We knew we had to be close to, if not at, our best to get a result because they're a really good side."
