Last-minute Yates leveller rescues point for Forest

Ryan Yates scored in the fifth minute of second-half stoppage time to seal a dramatic – and deserved – point for Nottingham Forest in a 1-1 draw with Sheffield United.

Despite been on top for extended spells, Brennan Johnson had a penalty saved by Blades goalkeeper Wes Foderingham just past the half-hour, before the hosts took the lead against the run of play when Billy Sharp headed in his 13th goal of the season.

However, in the closing stages, Forest won a corner on the right-hand side, with Yates leaping to head in his side’s eighth stoppage-time goal of the season.
