Sheffield United boss Nigel Clough delighted by "deserved" win over Yeovil Town

Sheffield United boss Nigel Clough has praised his side for Tuesday's "deserved" win over Yeovil Town in League One.

The Blades moved up to sixth place in the table last night as goals from Marc McNulty and Jamie Murphy gave them a 2-0 victory at Bramall Lane.

Despite seeing his team keep a second consecutive clean sheet, Clough believes that it was in attack where they excelled against Yeovil.

"That was a good win and I think it was deserved," he told Sky Sports News. "We probably could have scored a few more than we actually did and I don't think Yeovil caused us too many problems although we did have to work very hard.

"The pleasing thing about this performance, other than the fact we've won it of course, was that we again kept going and worked hard - but there were some moments of real quality out there too."

United continue their League One campaign on Saturday when they travel to struggling Crewe Alexandra.
