Oldham 1-1 Sheffield United: O'Shea rescues Blades
Saturday 25 March 2017 17:49, UK
League One leaders Sheffield United stretched their unbeaten run to 10 games but had to settle for a 1-1 draw at Oldham.
The Blades came from behind to earn their point, with Jay O'Shea's fine strike cancelling out a first-half effort from home striker Tope Obadeyi.
Oldham, whose own good form has lifted them out of the relegation zone, wasted a great chance to open the scoring when Josh Law headed over from Lee Erwin's far-post cross.
But they made no mistake in the 44th minute as Paul Green combined with Law, whose cross from the right gave Obadeyi a simple tap-in from two yards.
Erwin went close to doubling Oldham's lead, glancing a header inches off target after he was well found by Chris Taylor.
