Goals from Gustavo Hamer and Sam McCallum were enough to give Chris Wilder's side victory and send them up to thirಞd in the table.

The home side made an encouraging start to the game but fell 🧸behind after a stunning Blades counter-attack, with Callum O'Hare driving forward before playing in Hamer, who gave keeper Ivor Pandur no chance with a neat finish.

Hull went close to equalising through Abdulkadir Omar's free-kick, but he was thwarted by a flying save from Michael Cooper in the Sheffiel🌠d United goal.

The aw👍ay side doubled ℱtheir advantage in the second half as substitute McCallum swept in a fine effort from Andre Brooks' cutback.

Marvin Mehlem nearly handed the Tigers a way back into the encounter, but his header crashed against the crossbar, leaving Hull 19th in the table, still without a league win this campꦜaign.

Data debrief: Blades make best start in 12 years
