Sheffield United made a winning start under new manager Nigel Clough as they moved out of the relegation places.
Clough took his place in the dugout for the first time following his arrival in midweek and he watched on as United continued their recent revival with a 3-1 win over Crewe Alexandra.
Defender Harry Maguire proved crucial in the attack third of the pitch as he headed home twice in the first thirty-minutes and Ryan Flynn netted his first goal since December as the blades recorded their biggest win of the season.
Max Clayton pulled a late goal back for the railwaymen but it wasn`t going to spoil Clough`s first game in charge.
