Paul Heckingbottom's second spell in charge of Sheffield United started in the best possible way as his side beat Bristol City 2-0 at a snowy Bramall Lane.
The 44-year-old served as the Blades' interim manager at the end of last season and was appointed on a permanent basis this week, following the sacking of Slavisa Jokanovic.
Goals from Rhian Brewster and Billy Sharp ensured Heckingbottom had reason to celebrate on Sunday afternoon, as the Blades picked up a second consecutive win after winning away at Reading on Tuesday.
