- ■ ■CHAMPIONSH­IP Round-up

SLAVISA Jokanovic’s Sheffield United came from a goal down to stun Stoke thanks to supersubs

Lys Mousset and David McGoldrick.

Oli McBurnie remained on the bench while there was not even any room on it for record 28m signing Rhian Brewster.

The former Liverpool striker was stuck in the stand.

All, though, will have parts to play as the Serb stamps his own personalit­y on a side which has huge expectatio­n surroundin­g it.
