Gustavo Hamer amuses when hitting back at taunts from Stoke fans in Sheff Utd’s 4-0 win on Saturday afternoon.
The Blades hammered high flying Stoke, securing a fourth straight win, thanks to goals from Mark McGuinness, Femi Seriki, Patrick Bamford and Sydie Peck.
Chris Wilder’s side, who lost 11 of their first 14 games this season, are now five points clear of drop zone and just eight points off the play-offs.
Stoke are now on a run of four defeats in five, falling to 6th place, six points behind second-placed Middlesbrough.
Stoke fans aimed chants at Hamer when he took a corner kick, calling him a “fat bastard”, to which he used that as a way to mock them during the first goal celebration…

Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder told BBC Radio Sheffield:
“We always knew we’d have to be good today but there’s been a feeling that this was moving forward.
“You can do all the blocks and all the runs but the basic is a good delivery and go and attack it and I’m delighted for Mark [McGuinness].
“When we were getting criticised and we weren’t winning games of football I knew we were nudging it forward. It took a bit of time but the bit in the middle has been pretty good.
“Both boxes decide games against dangerous opposition and we needed to be close to or at our best to get any kind of result. It looks favourable from our point of view and we’ll take that but we’ve had to earn the right to win a game of football.”
Wilder, per Sky Sports:
“I think it was an outstanding performance today. We knew we had to be good today and we were; Stoke are where they are in the league for a reason.
“People will see our result today and think if we win our next couple we’ll be back to our best, but it doesn’t work like that, you have to be absolutely on it at all times.
“We are a team who should be in the top half of the division. We aren’t at the moment, but we’re climbing up the table and we’re trying to get there.
“Every game is a big opportunity for us. I just want to win and I want the players to crave that winning feeling. If it doesn’t come, accept it, deal with the disappointment and go again.
“This is a decent little period for us and we should enjoy it, but we can’t take our foot off the gas and we shouldn’t get carried away with ourselves. We’ve achieved nothing yet.
“You have to be bold in your approach to play for this football club; you are going to be tested. This league is ridiculously unpredictable, but I don’t want us to be.
“We have a tough game against Norwich on Tuesday where we’ll be looking to reproduce what we’ve done today.”
Stoke City boss Mark Robins told BBC Radio Stoke:
“It’s a disappointing result and a disappointing performance from the first set play.
“Don’t overreact is my first thought even though it wasn’t anything near where we want to be or need to be. I’ve spoken all season about the unwritten contract between us and the supporters and we fell way below that.
“We need to lick our wounds and make sure this doesn’t happen again.
“I know exactly what’s happened and it’s an easy one to sort out as long as you want to go and head the ball and don’t get pushed around.
“It’s a chastening afternoon. It hurts, it stings but it’s part of football.
“It is what it is. You always feel for the supporters who paid their money and travelled and they were brilliant because they were applauding us and I don’t think we deserved that. I think we deserved a slap but we’ve certainly had one from Sheffield United.”
Robins, per Sky Sports:
“Today’s performance was way below our expectations; we were physically and mentally second best all afternoon.
“We conceded from the corner and we were bullied from that point onwards which is really disappointing because I felt we looked a threat before that.
“We inexplicably lost our composure on the ball and we didn’t compete well enough. We weren’t good enough in and out of possession which is the first time I’ve said that in a long time.
“Sheffield United were always going to turn it around with Chris coming back in. They didn’t start the season so well, but this is a side that were in the play-offs last season.
“If we can’t compete against the likes of United we won’t be around the top end of the table come the end of the season. If we start taking things for granted in this league we will stop winning games of football.
“Don’t get me wrong, the lads have been brilliant all season. After this kind of performance people want you to hammer the players and sometimes managers pile in to protect themselves, but this is my team and I take responsibility.
“This one came out of the blue and it stings. We know this is a mental league where this can happen to anybody, but the good thing is we have another game coming up where we can show a reaction.”
