Nottingham Forest 1 Sheffield United 1 Highlights and reaction as Blades are held at City Ground
and live on Freeview channel 276
The Blades went ahead through Morgan Gibbs-White but the lead didn’t last too long and the problems at the back continued with a scrappy goal conceded when Lewis Grabban bundled in from close range for the home side to equalise.
Here’s the reaction and how it happened on what will be seen as another disappointing display by United.
Nottingham Forest v Sheffield United LIVE
Just wide for Forest
as a shot from the right is deflected behind for a corner to the home side, we’re into the 88th minute now and the game is pretty end to end as both sides slug it out for a winner... Norwood clears it behind for another corner and Fleck clears the second one
Goal Forest
and the home side are back on terms as Grabban pokes home from close range - a cross undoes the Blades as the ball bounces off Grabban but he recovers to poke past Olsen and drag his side level at 1-1
Somehow it stays 0-1
as Garner’s excellent cross from the right goes all the way across United’s goal, Grabban is inches away from poking it home but United live to fight another day for now
GOAAAAL BLADES
and it’s Morgan Gibbs-White who gets it from close range, finishing off a good cross from Sharp just moments after he came on - a composed finish from the loanee in front of the Blades fans and the visitors lead!
Here comes Billy Sharp
as the former Forest man makes way for another in Bes Osborn, with 15 minutes of normal time to go - he gets good applause from both sets of fans as he makes way
Big call from the ref
as Johnson goes down under challenge from Basham in the Blades area, and the referee books him for diving - not sure if there was contact or not but Basham was not happy at all with Johnson again... a big moment in this game
Basham is there again
to cut out the cross as Forest look to get in behind down the left, the cross came in but Basham was on hand to stab it away
Another booking
for Forest as Figueredo takes the booking for pulling back Mousset after the Frenchman span him and looked to race away - taking one for the team there
