With the all-action midfielder and his teammates maintaining their pursuit of Liverpool and Manchester City, he came to the defense of his teammates after the game.
"I think that was a narrative that we weren't creating chances, that we needed a No.9, but in all honesty, we have been playing like this all year," he told reporters at Bramall Lane.
"All season we have been playing really well.
Obviously the goals weren't as free flowing as they are now, but that was never a problem that we needed a No.9 - because we have got Gabi (Jesus), we have got Kai (Havertz), we have got Eddie (Nketiah) and we have got Leo (Trossard), who can play as a false nine. Goals are going to come.
"So I don't think that has ever been a big problem. I think now we are really in our groove and we are looking really threatening in front of goal."
