Men's football Sheffield United 3-2 Blackburn Rovers, FA Cup quarter-final report

Sheffield United 3-2 Blackburn Rovers

TOMMY DOYLE fired Sheffield United into the FA Cup semi-finals with a stunning injury-time winner against Blackburn at Bramall Lane today.

The Manchester City loanee’s 25-yard thunderbolt completed a late turnaround as United were heading out, trailing to goals from Ben Brereton Diaz and Sam Szmodics, which came either side of Sam Gallagher’s own goal, until the final 10 minutes.

Oli McBurnie got the Blades level in the 81st minute before Doyle’s heroics booked a first semi-final spot for the Blades since 2014 in a thrilling tie.

The result was harsh on Blackburn, who have yet to play at the new Wembley, but they will now focus all their attention on their Championship promotion push.
