WATCH: Goalkeeper howler gifts Sheffield United vital goal
Wednesday 15 March 2017 09:12, UK
Sheffield United's Jay O'Shea was gifted a goal following a moment to forget for Swindon goalkeeper Will Henry on Tuesday night.
The goal came at a crucial stage in the second half of the clash at the County Ground, with O'Shea's simple tap-in firing the Blades 3-2 ahead after they had squandered a two-goal lead.
A late Paul Coutts penalty sealed the points for the Sky Bet League One leaders, but the game hinged on a calamitous mistake from the Swindon goalkeeper.
The ball was played back to 'keeper Henry, who then somehow passed straight to O'Shea - who could not have had an easier goal to open his account with for the Blades.
United had taken the lead on 29 minutes when Caolan Lavery seized on a mix-up in the Swindon defence to slot home. Lavery then turned provider six minutes later as his driven cross was smashed in from close range by Kieron Freeman.
