Sheffield United’s first Premier League home game for 12 years ended in victory after John Lundstram’s goal saw off lacklustre Crystal Palace.
Lundstram pounced just after half-time after Vicente Guaita had pushed substitute Luke Freeman’s attempt into his path.
The Blades should have taken the lead before half-time, but David McGoldrick was denied by Guaita after Lundstram’s cross.
Palace, who have failed to score in their opening two games, were disappointing although Andros Townsend did force a good save from Dean Henderson.
In contrast, newly promoted United produced a spirited performance and now have four points from two games.
