Jamal Campbell-Ryce conjured up a Sheffield United winner in a gritty League One game with Rochdale.

Both sides had chances to break the deadlock, before the former Barnsley winger’s cross took a deflection before dropping inside the far post.

Ian Henderson struck the crossbar for Rochdale, while Marc McNulty and Neill Collins both went close for United.

But the win extends United’s unbeaten run to five games and nudges the Blades into the top 10 in League One.
