Chris Wilder triumphed over Jose Mourinho to record his first victory since the restart.

 

 

Sheffield United climbed to seventh in the Premier League table thanks to an accomplished 3-1 victory against Tottenham Hotspur.

The away team enjoyed much of possession in the game but it was the Blades who struck first through Berge in the 31-minute.

 

 

Stevens found Berge free just outside the area and looked over the right sauntering into the box just in time to receive the ball back. He then slotted past Lloris from eight yards.

Minutes later, Spurs striker Harry Kane had a goal ruled out for a handball by Lucas Moura after a VAR check.

24 minutes after the break, Sheffield were flying high with a second through Mousset.

Stevens and Osborn linked up brilliantly on the left, and Spurs were like statues as the ball rolled into the box.

Stevens caught it back from the byline and  Mousset tucked it home a second.

 

 

A close-range finish by Oliver McBurnie, turning in Berge's cross on 84 minutes, completed an accomplished display by Chris Wilder's team before Kane netted an 89th-minute consolation for the visitors.

Sheffield United go seventh, with 47 points, while Spurs drop to ninth, with 45 Spurs'.

The defeat was Jose Mourinho's seventh Premier League game as Tottenham manager.
