Notts County 1 Sheffield United 1: Judge rules that Blades must settle for point

SHEFFIELD United’s automatic League One promotion push suffered another jolt with a frustrating 1-1 draw at ten-man Notts County.

The Blades took the lead after just two minutes through Harry Maguire who headed home Nick Blackman’s cross.

The hosts then saw Francois Zoko sent off mid-way through the first half for apparent dissent but there was to be a sting in the tail for the Blades at the end.

Alan Sheehan floated in a 79th-minute free-kick and Alan Judge was on hand to prod home an equaliser.
