Sheffield United have the last laugh after beating their rivals Sheffield Wednesday following pre-game taunts when arriving at Hillsborough.
Wednesday supporters could be heard screaming at each Blades player that walked past them as they got off the team coach, while there was a huge grin from Chris Wilder.
Danny Röhl’s name was chanted by Wednesdayites after he followed suit. Plenty of bad language in these clips.

Wilder’s side went ahead on 64 minutes, Peck working it well down the right, then played a hopeful ball down the channel for Campbell to chase with the striker sending the ball into the area and Beadle got a hand to it but parried into a dangerous area.
Brewster was on hand to tap home with the only goal of the game.
Sheffield United goalscorer Rhian Brewster speaking to BBC Radio Sheffield:
“I don’t think it’s sunk in yet, it’s surreal to be honest.
“With the injuries and since I’ve come from Liverpool I’ve not been able to get the goals I wanted but I hope it shows the fans I have the belief.
“The atmosphere was amazing from both sets of fans. From the moment we came and to scoring it goes silent in that one end.”
On his goal:
“I looked at Ty [Tyrese Campbell] and thought please play it, I got cramp when I was about to hit it and when it went in I was like yes.
“We come into the game wanting to win like any other game but this game had more commotion being a derby. It’s a big three points and now we have to recover and prepare for Coventry.”

Sheffield United captain Jack Robinson speaking to BBC Radio Sheffield:
“It feels really good, it was a scrappy game but we got the three points in the end.
“It’s one of our key aspects to see games out like that. The lads have dug it out with the Championship being a hard league, playing Tuesday, Saturday. All credit to the lads it’s on them to put us where we are in such a tough league.
On Blades keeper Michael Cooper:
“He top class, he’s saved us again at the end with a good save from Marvin Johnson. It’s good to have him front of us.”
On goalscorer Rhian Brewster:
“Made up for him, he deserves it, he’s a really hard-working lad.”
Sheffield Wednesday boss Danny Rohl speaking to BBC Radio Sheffield:
“Of course disappointed, we tried especially in the second half. When you look they had just one touch in the half. We were ahead of them.
“In the end we deserved a point but in the end it looks like a mirror of our home performances.
“I think you saw in this game just how competitve we are. I couldn’t see a difference from second in the table to us but the biggest wish for us was to give our fans a good result.
“Now it’s all about recovery and we go again in out eight finals, they next opponents are not easy.”
On Sheffield United’s goal:
“I think we have a three on two situation and even then we had a chance to defend it but this is exactly it in these moments.
“In the second half there was nothing from them, we had so many touches in their half but they unfortunately get the goal.
“This game described a lot about us this season, we had chances to win the game and the centre-back comes off with an injury.”
