54 min: Sheffield almost add their second just minutes later but Pantimilion makes a fine save to deny McGoldrick
FT: Bristol City 1-1 Reading
Full-time at Ashton Gate and an opportunity missed for Bristol who dominated large parts of the game.
Meite gave Reading the lead against the run of play at the start of the second-half, before Brownhill equalised after 72 minutes. But Bristol couldn't find the winner over the course of a frantic end.
They remain in sixth but Middlesbrough and Derby will have a chance to close the gap, while Reading steadily clamber their way towards safety.
80 min: Lewis Grabban is blocked on the edge of the box leaving Forest with a free-kick in a dangerous position, but nothing comes from it. O'Neill's side are applying a late burst of pressure now.
We're back underway at the Den where it's 1-1, but Brentford are down to 10-men.
GOAL! Sheffield United 2-0 Nottingham Forest (Stevens, 86)
There'll be no promotion for Norwich. Sheffield have taken the game out of reach with a brilliant finish from Evans to douse Forest's burst of late pressure.
