Sheffield United centre-back Harry Maguire scored twice against Crewe to help Sheffield United boss Nigel Clough secure victory in his first game.
Maguire headed the Blades into the lead from Stephen McGinn''s free-kick and netted his second from the same player''s delivery from a corner.
The Blades sealed the win when Ryan Flynn cut inside to thump home.
Substitute Chuks Aneke hit the bar for the visitors before Max Clayton pulled one back late on.
Sheffield United''s third win of the season saw them move out of the League One relegation zone, at the expense of their opponents.
The Railwaymen, who fell to a 3-0 home defeat by Stevenage on Tuesday, have now lost five of their last seven in all competitions.
