As people may know, I've not been a huge fan of David McGoldrick since he arrived here. I thought his finishing was very poor, and some folk seemed to be over-praising his link-up play to compensate.
Well he was magnificent today. That was a great finish, having had the benefit of a dry run for the penalty incident. He put himself about without his usual reckless lunges, he made things happen, won his physical battles and generally had a stormer. I think he was robbed of the MOTM award too.
In general, that was much better from the Blades. We beat a good side (who played well), as well as the referee. We also did two things that have been lacking recently - we got better in the second half, and we finished the game strongly. Continuing to go for it at 2-1 is a big reason why we came away with three points. They never had any sustained pressure, or chances of any kind, after McGoldrick scored.
A brilliant late Christmas present United, thank you.
