Sheffield United 1-1 Tranmere Rovers - Blades blunted

Sheffield United’s hold on an automatic promotion place was loosened by a draw with Tranmere Rovers.

The Blades led just after the half-hour mark when Ched Evans converted Stephen Quinn’s ball from close range.

But Lucas Akins headed home John Welsh’s corner nine minutes into the second half to level the scores.
