Sheffield United boosted their play-off hopes as they came from behind to beat Birmingham 2-1 at St Andrew’s in another game that attracted protests by Blues fans.

Lyle Taylor’s second goal since joining on loan from Nottingham Forest opened the scoring in the second half before the Blades turned the game around thanks to goals from Billy Sharp and Jayden Bogle.

Home supporters voiced their anger at the running of the club, with sections of fans wearing masks as part of their ‘faceless’ protest and blowing whistles in the opening 10 minutes. Despite the troubles off the field, Lee Bowyer’s men had the better of the chances in the first half, with Kristian Pedersen and Onel Hernandez failing to hit the target from close range.
