Sheffield United striker Rhian Brewster dedicated his goal against Millwall to his younger cousin, who died in the lead-up to the Blades' trip to The Den.

The 24-year-old scored his first goal in more than two years in the victory, which sent the Blades back to the top of the Championship.

Brewster paid tribute to Kaylen Dennis, who played for non-league side Walthamstow, following the Blades' 1-0 win.

"I want to dedicate that goal to my younger cousin. He passed away earlier today before the game, so that's one for him and the family," he told BBC Radio Sheffield.

"It was a very tough time [for the family], but I played for him today, and I was very happy to come away with a goal, and that's for him.

"It's bittersweet as it happened back in London, so that one was definitely for him."
