Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder hailed matchwinner Billy Sharp for their FA Cup win at Reading.

David McGoldrick had put the Blades into the lead early in the match but his header was cancelled out when George Puscas converted a spot-kick just before the half-time break. But Sharp popped up in extra-time to grab the winner.

"He's been brilliant on and off the pitch," Wilder said of Sharp.

"He's not played a lot of football leading up to Christmas but he's kept himself in great shape and he's always had a part to play.

"He epitomises what we're about, selfless, when he plays there's still life in him - who's to say that he's not got a little bit more left in the tank?

"He's a natural finisher, it's a brilliant goal from our point of view."
