Chris Wilder backs Dean Henderson for England as Blades cut down Canaries

SHEFFIELD UNITED held off a brave Norwich City side to claim a narrow 1-0 win in an entertaining clash at Bramall Lane.

Local hero Billy Sharp’s first-half header proved decisive on the day, but both sides went for it, with a number of great chances at either end.

Dean Henderson was the hero with a superb second half double save, and his manager Chris Wilder says he will soon be playing for England. The Manchester United loanee has big plans for his future, which may lie away from the Steel City.
