Sheffield United continue to push for top spot in the Championship after beating Coventry 3-1. The win takes the Blades level on points with top-of-the-table Burnley after James McAtee fired the hosts into the lead.
Coventry had the chance to equalise just after the break, but Viktor Gyökeres had his spot-kick saved. Ciaran Clark and Tommy Doyle added two more for United before Gyökeres pulled one back for Coventry, but the Blades were forced to play out the rest of the game with 10 men after John Egan was shown a second yellow card in the 78th minute.
