Sheffield United are one step away from a return to the Premier League after sealing their spot in the Championship play-off final with another dominant display against Bristol City.

The Blades delivered a second consecutive 3-0 win over Bristol City, showcasing their Premier League credentials with back-to-back clean sheets and ruthless attacking football. The aggregate score of 6-0 underlines the gulf in class as Paul Heckingbottom’s side march into the final full of confidence.

Their opponent in the Wembley showdown will be decided by the second leg between Sunderland and Coventry City, with Sunderland holding a narrow 2-1 advantage after the first leg.

Sheffield United fans will now turn their attention to Wembley, dreaming of a top-flight return after a season of determination and consistency in the second tier of English football.
