Sheffield Utd record breaker Antwoine Hackford: What I am feeling now I couldn't describe

Antwoine Hackford has detailed his record-breaking debut for Sheffield United on the weekend.

Sixteen-year-old Hackford came off the bench with 10 minutes to go of United's 2-0 defeat at Crystal Palace and with it, entered the record books.

His arrival saw him become the club's youngest ever Premier League player and he almost marked it with a goal.

A turn and shot late on that was comfortably saved by the keeper would have been the dream debut.

The teenager later took to social media to express his pride.

He wrote: "More than happy to have made my Premier League debut.

"What I am feeling now I couldn't describe."
