The game was a mostly scrappy affair and it took a deflected second-half goal for the visitors to claim all three points from their trip to South Yorkshire.Ryan Taylor's speculative long-range effort struck Chris Morgan and left Ian Bennett no chance of a save in the Blades' goal."I'm delighted. I think that's what you call an ugly win," Hughton told Sky Sports. "We knew here they haven't had the best of times of late and would be after the win."They play a particular style of play that makes it very difficult for you. You've got to be strong and resilient and I thought for the majority of the game we handled everything they threw at us."Team performanceThe likes of Steve Harper and Andy Carroll took the plaudits for their performances, but Hughton refused to single out any players, stating it was a team display."I don't think there's anyone that I can pick out. It's a team performance," he continued. "We needed everyone on board. We needed fighters and men out there today and that's exactly what we got. "I thought we showed moments of quality. We weathered the storm in the first half. I thought we got into our passing game early in the second half, although I was a little bit disappointed we weren't able to elaborate on that a bit more."
