Wilson: It was hard earned

Sheffield United snatched a late winner at Hartlepool on Tuesday night in a game that was made difficult by “difficult conditions”.

Danny Wilson, as he told BBC Radio Sheffield, thought it was a “terrific” win that was “hard earned”: ‘I think the conditions made it a very confrontational game – swirling wind, balls played long every two minutes.

‘There’s always some sort of confrontation between centre-backs and strikers and it made for a stop-start game at times.

‘From our point of view, it’s a terrific three points, but it was hard earned.’
