Sheffield United remain on course to move out of the relegation zone in League One after securing a 2-0 half-time lead over Shrewsbury Town at Bramall Lane this afternoon.
Nigel Clough's troops edged ahead in the contest after just 11 minutes, with Ryan Flynn breaking clear of Town's defence and slotting past goalkeeper Chris Neale.
The Blades doubled their advantage shortly after, with Steven Scougall's long-range effort sufficient in establishing a two-goal margin and bagging his first United goal in the process.
The visitors forged their best opportunity on the half-hour mark as Joseph Mills fired a Paul Parry cross into the side-netting as the hosts carried their two-goal lead into the interval.
