Chris Wilder felt his team did all the right things to ensure a second successive win and third clean sheet on the bounce as they beat Portsmouth 3-0.

The Blades boss told BBC Radio Sheffield: "A lot of people would be having a peek at us to see how we approached the game after an emphatic win on Sunday, and I thought the players were really good tonight - a lot of boxes ticked, another step forward, another test passed.

"It's not always easy to play against 10 men but I told the players not to get bored of doing the right things, don't get bored of being a decent team, and I thought we looked a decent team tonight.

"The direction of the game changed with the penalty and sending-off but you still have to go and earn the right and we did that."
