Sheffield United were held to a 2-2 draw at Coventry City on Saturday afternoon but Chris Wilder hailed the result as a point gained despite seeing the hosts come from behind twice.
Tyrese Campbell opened the scoring before Norman Bassette scored his first Coventry goal. Jesurun Rak-Sakyi put the Blades back in front before they had Anel Ahmedhodzic sent off for grabbing Bassette by the throat and throwing him to the floor in a rush of blood just before half-time. Coventry piled on the pressure in the second half and Bobby Thomas headed them level with 10 minutes remaining.
