Sheffield United score late consolation
Sheffield United managed to pull a goal back late on to keep their play-off final hopes alive.
Sander Berge netted in stoppage time to reduce the deficit to just one goal.
Although, Paul Heckingbottom’s team still face a very tough task in trying to come from behind in Nottingham.
The Blades have won just a third of their games on their travels this season and now head to one of the toughest grounds in the division.
