Sheffield United dropped out of the automatic promotion spots after losing 2-0 to Leeds United
Chris Wilder paid a huge compliment to Leeds United after seeing his Sheffield United lose 2-0 at Elland Road tonight, labelling the Whites as the "best side they have faced" this season.
Wilder told Sky Sports: "Beaten by a better side. No doubt about it. We didn't have any answers to them. Leeds had to wait until the 69th minute to break the deadlock when Struijk fired home from Joe Rothwell's corner. It was the first time Sheffield United had conceded in over 11 hours of Championship football.
"I have to take that criticism if it comes but I have to make those decisions. We hadn't played a team like Leeds United before; we hadn't played a team of their quality and structure.
