If football matches were just 45 minutes long, then that second half was brilliant viewing with both teams eager to pull off three points for two different reasons.
The Blades, who carved City open in the first half, were looking to cement their spot in the top six in their quest for promotion while the Robins were hoping to shrug a monkey off the back by picking up their first back to back wins of the season - and it left for enthralling viewing.
The gulf in class was evident at times as Sheffield United played brilliantly between the lines, particularly in the first half with the quality and movement of attackers Morgan Gibbs-White and Iliman Ndiaye.
