Hull City 0 - Sheffield United 1

Despite losing to a 90th minute Sheffield United winner in a five-goal thriller at Bramall Lane, City move one game closer to safety from relegation. City went 2-0 down to Blades goals either side of half time from Neil Shipperley and Paul Ifill, but turned it around with a 56th minute double substitution. Both Stuart Elliott and Darryl Duffy came on to score in the 65th and 70th minutes respectively to draw level.

Home keeper Paddy Kenny was lucky not to concede a penalty and be sent off, while he was also struggling to stay on after suffering a knock, but had to battle on as Neil Warnock didn't have a goalkeeper on the bench.

David Unsworth's goal in injury time stole it for the South Yorkshire club to make it 3-2 and keep their automatic promotion hopes on course.
