Sheffield United boss Chris WilderRex Features
Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder reflected on the journey he has been on with the club since first taking over in May 2016 afterthey beat Sheffield Wednesday 1-0 to do the double over their city rivals.
Wilder, a Blades fan, is looking to win promotion with United for the third time having taken them from League One to the Premier League in his first stint.
"It feels good. I talked to the players before how we were ridiculed for being in League One, a pub league and all that since I took over in 2016," he told BBC Radio Sheffield.
"We managed to close the gap. I wanted to adjust the narrative that we weren't a pub league side and all of a sudden it changes and now we're a rival. It changes, we're now 31 points above them.
"To do the double over our rivals was always going to be a good day."
Victory moved Wilder's men back up to second, level on points with table-topping Leeds.
Burnley, who the Blades visit on Easter Monday, are two points behind in third and Wilder is expecting a big finish to the season from all of the top three teams.
"There's still work to be done, there's a promotion on the horizon. It's going to be an absolutely titanic tussle," he added.
