Sheffield United vs Nottingham Forest
Forest came from behind to beat the already relegated Blades 3-1 at Bramall Lane to boost their chances of Premier League survival. The hosts were the better side in the first half and took the lead from the spot after a late slide tackle from Montiel on Brereton-Diaz, who took responsibility with the penalty and thumped his effort just to the left past Sels. Hudson-Odoi levelled with a fantastic right-footed effort into the top-right corner from inside the box before Archer and Brereton-Diaz missed clear chances at close range to put the hosts ahead for a second time. The hosts created an xG of 1.79 in the first half but were punished for their wasteful finishing by Forest. Boly headed the ball straight to Yates, who blasted in his first Premier League goal from close range to give the visitors the lead before Hudson-Odoi netted his second with a low finish into the bottom-right corner. The Blades have conceded 100 goals and went down to 10 men when Ahmedhodzic was shown his second yellow card with seconds left. The Blades travel to Everton for their next Premier League match, with Forest hosting Chelsea for their penultimate fixture. That’s all, goodbye.

BLOCK! Hamer collects possession just outside Forest's box and rolls a pass down the left to Brereton-Diaz, who looks to have a clear shot at the goal. However, his effort is blocked by a sliding Murillo, with the ball coming back off the Chile international and behind for a goal-kick.
