'A perfect night' for Moore
Kieffer Moore says if the Blades can repeat their semi-final form they'll have a good chance of winning the Championship play-off final. Moore headed the opening goal in the second leg at Bramall Lane on Monday which calmed any Blades nerves after a bright start from Bristol City. Gus Hamer and Callum O'Hare added gloss to the scoreline after the break and booked a trip to Wembley on 24 May. The forward told BBC Radio Sheffield: "It was perfect - to a man, everyone was brilliant and the crowd was amazing. The whole atmosphere was unreal. "We needed that first goal to really assert ourselves. When we scored, the best of our football really came out. We knew what we had to do and it was a very good, professional performance. "We're very much buzzing and looking forward to Wembley now. We've really shown what we can do over these last two games. If we can bring that and more, we've a very good chance." Moore had treatment after an awkward landing in the opening half and was withdrawn just after the hour as Chris Wilder made several changes but the striker added: "I jarred my knee but it's not too bad."

Wilder reacts to Sheffield United win at Luton
Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder spoke to BBC Radio Sheffield after his side beat bottom club Luton Town 1-0 to return to the top of the asked about it not being a pretty win, Wilder responded by saying: "That's the understatement of the season. "Their approach to it, from the off – especially when we saw the team sheet with a few of the experienced boys – we talked about having to expect the Luton Town of old," he continued."It was everything from the year they went up, it was everything in the Premier League that Premier League teams struggled to cope with - the two centre forwards. It came long from the off, we saw it went straight back to the goalkeeper and bang on top of you. And every free-kick was on top of you."You just have to deal with it and, at times, it's really difficult to come out of it and try play your natural, normal game. We tried at times, but they were massively up for it."The target on our back, because of the position that we are in and because it was Sheffield United against Luton Town, it never felt like a team at the top of the division versus a team that was rock bottom."You have to show different qualities for different games if you want to be successful, and we showed huge personality and huge character."
