In terms of goals, he has, with a goal ruled out by VAR against <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/clubs\/tottenham\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tottenham Hotspur<\/a> the closest he has come to netting a top-flight goal.<\/p>\n<p>However, he has been widely praised for his work ethic up front, along with the majority of this Sheffield United team who are still in with a shout of securing a Champions League spot this season.<\/p>\n<p>At Championship level, though, McGoldrick was a more potent force in front of goal, netting 15 times in 45 games as the Blades sealed promotion just behind <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/clubs\/norwich-city\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Norwich City<\/a>.
