Sheffield United's players ended a streak of four matches without a win. "Blades" were better than Norwich (1:2) after the turnaround and remained in the top half of the table.

Norwich took the lead through Teti, who took advantage of Zimmerman's assist and checked Henderson. With that score, we went to the break, and in the second half, Sheffield got the breakthrough in three minutes. First, Stevens checked Krul in the 49th minute, and three minutes later, Boldock shook the opponent's net and set the final score.

Chris Wilder's team is in eighth position with 22 points. Norwich is next to last with 11 points.

And after the turnaround, Newcastle also celebrated. The "Magpies" were better than Southampton (2:1) at home today and consolidated their position in the middle of the table.

Southampton took the lead through Danny Ings. The striker once again showed that he is the best player of the Saints this season, and today's goal was his eighth of the season.

Newcastle equalized through Shelvey, and the final result was set by Federico Fernandes. By the way, Shelvi was the scorer in the third consecutive match.
