Sheffield United boss Nigel Clough hails 'best league win of the season'

Sheffield United manager Nigel Clough has declared that his side's 1-0 victory away to Gillingham was their best league win of the season.

The Blades, who went into the match off the back of a 3-1 win over Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup, secured maximum points through Conor Coady's first-half strike.

"We're delighted on the back of Sunday's performance and victory to come here [and win]," Clough told BBC Sport.

"To come here and get a clean sheet and three points, I think it's probably the best three points of the season."

The result moves the Blades out of the League One relegation zone, up to 18th in the table with 32 points from 29 matches.
