Sheffield United 2 Derby County 1: Billy Sharp puts Blades ahead as they come from behind in EFL Cup clash

on his left foot, he hits it well and Verrips is worried enough to dive full length but he gets too much on it and it sails over the Dutchman’s crossbar

He scores goals - Billy Sharp on target again, seizing on a poor backpass to round Allsop and tap home on the angle. A typical Sharp goal to put the Blades ahead

as he replaces Oli Burke with just over 20 minutes to go, to big applause from the Bramall Lane crowd

but it’s cleared by Bryson - a few moments ago Gordon did excellently to prevent Derby re-taking the lead and then Freeman had a snapshot on the volley, but it goes over the bar

as he breaks down the left moments after coming off the bench and sees his cross deflected past Verrips, but it hits the outside of the post and rebounds for a corner which United scramble clear

to get in the way and clear the danger after Sibley looked to pull the trigger after a neat one-two

after Lopata’s header set him free, he ignores the run of Burke and looks to go himself but drags his shot harmlessly wide. United respond by making a sub, replacing McGoldrick with Iliman Ndiaye

as he tries to shepherd the ball out of play for a goalkick but his pocket is picked, the ball is crossed and deflected and Verrips gets enough in the way to keep it out - a moment of panic for the defender

and it’s from the head of Luke Freeman, of all places, as he glances home Gordon’s cross on the overlap - the goalkeeper may feel he could have done better as it squirms through his hands but United don’t care, they’re level again

as McGoldrick’s shot is blocked and Hutchinson fluffs his pass badly before it rolls out for a corner - Freeman comes over to take it on the right and it’s headed away, and Derby break before Bogle snuffs out the danger and takes a whack for his troubles, winning the free-kick
