Sheffield United vs Liverpool result: Player ratings as Reds extend winning Premier League run

Jurgen Klopp’s side have now won their first seven matches

Liverpool extended their winning Premier League run to seven games after edging Sheffield United 1-0 in a tense encounter at Bramall Lane.

The first-half saw both sides spurn chances with Sadio Mane's effort pinging off the outside of the post as Liverpool lacked their usual clinical edge.

However, the deadlock was finally broken after 70 minutes when Georginio Wijnaldum's low drilled shot squirmed through the arms of goalkeeper Dean Henderson.

Leon Clarke had a chance to rescue a deserved point for Chris Wilder's side at the death but saw his effort soar over the bar with the win taking Jurgen Klopp's Champions League winners eight points clear at the top of the table.
