Enda Stevens says Sheffield United see 'room to improve' after impressive Premier League start

Enda Stevens has said that Sheffield United's players still see 'room to improve' despite an impressive start to life in the Premier League.

The Blades picked up a memorable 2-2 draw with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge last Saturday in a game which saw fellow Ireland star Callum Robinson notch a first goal for his club.

Speaking after Ireland's 1-1 draw with Switzerland, Stevens said: "We're confident, we've got points on the board.

"There's room for improvement but I think that we're growing with each game and I'm hoping to kick on now."

The 29-year-old Dubliner had a phenomenal match against Frank Lampard's side, but struggled to find his feet in last night's game with Switzerland.

But he was pleased with the character shown by his side in the Aviva Stadium in front of a raucous crowd.

"It's some atmosphere when it gets going," he told Irish Mirror. "It's something that you thrive on and it gives you extra energy and a lift.

"It was a tough game for us, the first especially, but we dug deep after going a goal behind and we gave them a good game.

"We struggled to get to grips with their formation in the first half but second half we started well and they, probably deservedly, went 1-0 up and we needed to react.

"We did and we kind of pushed them back and that's when we got the goal."
