On this day in 2017, Sheffield United's remarkable and breathtaking journey to the Premier League took its first significant step when they finished the League One season in style, overcoming neighbours Chesterfield at a packed Bramall Lane to reach the 100-point barrier for the first and only time in the club's history.
