Sheffield United's assistant manager Sam Ellis had no complaints after his side's 1-0 defeat at Burnley.

The loss leaves the Blades with little hope of clinching automatic promotion to the Premier League, but Ellis accepted it had been a fair result.

"They were better than us. It's not a bad reason is it, it happens in football matches," admitted Ellis.

"We knew they'd be a good side from the cup runs they had and the league position they're in, and there's no shame in coming here and being second best. I'm just disappointed that we were."
