R markdown anchor at the top of document

Similar to the question asked here I am trying to insert anchors in a long document so that users can easily navigate to the TOC of the document.

My code is as follows:

---
title: "Sample Document"
output:
  html_document:
    toc: true
    theme: united
---
<a id="top"></a>

# First Section

Then I add [Go to Top](#top) wherever I want a link to go to the top of the document.

The problem I am having is that on clicking Go to Top, the page scrolls up such that First Section is at the top, not the Table of Contents (which is what I want). So the users have to scroll up again to go to TOC.

Is there any way to scroll back to the very top of the document, so that TOC is seen again on the page.

I tried to to put <a id="top"></a> before ---, but that does not work.

Any help would be much appreciated!! Thanks.

Just add you link somewhere and refers to #header...

<a href="#header">back to top</a>
