Clough pleased for Sheffield Utd after victory over West Ham

Sheffield United manager Nigel Clough was delighted for the club after their penalty shootout victory at Capital One Cup opponents West Ham United.

Clough is hoping his side's penalty shoot-out victory over West Ham in the Capital One Cup can draw a line under the Carlos Tevez transfer debate.

The Blades triumphed 5-4 in the shoot-out after holding their top-flight opposition to a 1-1 draw over 120 minutes.

Diafra Sakho had put the Hammers in front at Upton Park before an unfortunate Winston Reid own goal levelled the match.

"It was a long time ago," he said.

"I think it was more about winning on the night for our supporters than anything in the past. I'm sure there will still be a bit of injustice felt by our supporters and that will not go away.

"You can't keep going on with things like that. You move on - it was seven years ago and we all move on - we are desperate to get out of League One."
