Having been wasteful in the first-half, the Blades went in front shortly after the restart as Andre Brooks lashed into the net from close range.
But former Sheffield Wednesday attacker Josh Windass levelled five minutes later with his 11th goal of the campaign across all competitions.
And Sam Smith headed home the winner 12 minutes from time to ensure Phil Parkinson's men – who remain seventh – stay level on points with sixth-place Southampton.

Wrexham have assembled a 'really good team' – Wilder
Chris Wilder says Phil Parkinson has assembled a "really good team" as his Sheffield United side prepare to face Wrexham this weekend.
The Blades currently sit 15th in the Championship, 10 points adrift of the seventh-placed Red Dragons who are only out of the play-off places on goal difference.
Before the meeting of the sides at Bramall Lane on Saturday (15:00 GMT), Wilder was keen to praise his former Southampton academy team-mate Parkinson for the job he has done since taking charge of Wrexham in 2021.
"No matter what goes on at Wrexham, and there's a lot of noise in terms of the progression of the football club and the story that goes behind everything, but they've still got to win games of football," Wilder said in a press conference.
