Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder was delighted with man-of-the-match Dean Henderson for their 0-0 draw with Watford.

The afternoon belonged to Henderson, who delivered the perfect response to his costly mistake against Jurgen Klopp's side a week ago when Wilder said he "needs to do better".

The Blades goalkeeper - on loan from Manchester United - did brilliantly to deny Danny Welbeck early in the second half, while Dawson's low header looked destined for the back of the net until the 22-year-old palmed the ball to safety with a strong right hand.

"He's a really good keeper and he's reacted the right way," said Wilder. "He was always going to play and he was pivotal to the clean sheets we had last year.

"It's a tough old changing room but he's come through it. There's no hiding place at international level or the likes of Manchester United, so that's what he's got to get used to."
