Egan’s late strike denies Wrexham FA Cup win


Wrexham's Elliot Lee (R) challenges Sheffield United's Oli McBurnie

John Egan’s stoppage-time goal rescued Sheffield United against non-league Wrexham in a frenetic FA Cup fourth-round tie.

Oli McBurnie headed home Tommy Doyle’s corner to give United an early lead.

Goals from James Jones and Tom O’Connor put the Welsh side ahead before Oliver Norwood equalised for the Blades, who had Daniel Jebbison sent-off.

Paul Mullin’s goal four minutes from time looked to have secured a shock, but captain Egan levelled late.

More to follow.
