Chris Wiꦯlder's Blades had the chance to overtake Leeds United at the summ🔯it, but they fell behind within six minutes as Matt Crooks rifled home from outside the area after Alfie Gilchrist failed to clear his lines.
Sheffield United failed to record a single🦩 shot on target until Callum O'Hare's flick was turne💛d over the crossbar by Ivor Pandur in the 51st minute, then the hosts fell victim to a controversial call six minutes later.
Moments after being introduced as a substitute, Tyrese Campbell got in🧸 behind to flick past Pandur, only for the linesman's flag to go up for offside.
However, replays showed Sean McLough𓆉lin may haꦜve been playing the Blades man onside, and Hull made that reprieve count almost instantly when substitute Matty Jacob prodded home.
The Tigers then killed the contest two minutes from time as Harrison Burrows bundled Joao Pedro's cross into his own net, capping Sheffield United's biggest def🐭eat of the 💜season.
