John Egan redeemed himself in spectacular fashion for Sheffield United yesterday, after scoring a 96th minute equaliser against QPR in the Championship.
Egan had been at fault for QPR's goal, after giving the ball away when trying to play out of defence, but he showed a striker's touch to slot home deep into injury time.
The result meant that league leader's Burnley didn't extend their lead to seven points over the Blades, who lie in second place, five points adrift.

After the match, Sheffield United boss Paul Heckingbottom gave his thoughts on how the game went.
“I think we deserved it. It was a pretty even game.
"We were disappointed with the way we conceded the first goal and it changed the dynamic of the game, but we worked our way back into it.
“We pushed and pushed and I thought we more than deserved it in the end. We felt it was coming. We were really pushing towards the end and we kept going.”
"With the form we have been in it is a little bit quieter than you'd imagine in the dressing room. That's because of the results we've been getting and the standards the players have been setting.
"It is a good point in the end and probably shows a lot about the group, the way we had to fight to get control of the game.
"We weren't at our best with the ball and to go behind meant that, with their good players who are good on the counter, it was set up perfect for them. We had to accept the game would be end to end."
