Billy Sharp became the Championship's all-time leading scorer as Sheffield United cruised past struggling Peterborough at the Weston Homes Stadium.

Sharp broke the deadlock in the 53rd minute, finding the bottom corner with a hooked shot on the turn to put the visitors deservedly ahead.

The goal was the 35-year-old's 122nd in the second tier, the most for any player since the First Division rebranded in August 2004.

"I'm relieved I've finally got it. It's been talked about for a few weeks now," Sharp told BBC Radio Sheffield.

"I won't be around for much longer. Hopefully (Aleksandar) Mitrovic doesn't stay in the Championship much longer. He scores so many goals.

"I know there are people chasing me down. To be at the top is really nice and special for me. I'm not done yet, I'm ready to add a few more."

Posh's Callum Morton poked the ball into his own net after 80 minutes to wrap up the win for the Blades.

United's victory saw them rise to 11th in the table, six points off the play.
