BLADES boss Chris Wilder was full of praise for John Fleck on Saturday, whose second-half brace helped Sheffield United to a 2-0 win at Bramall Lane.

Stepping it up after the break, the home side scored twice through Fleck while Villa failed to halve the deficit as Jack Grealish missed a penalty given after a lengthy VAR check.

Chris Wilder was full of praise for his side but singled out Fleck, who he said outplayed fellow Scot John McGinn in midfield.
