The hosts broke the deadlock from the spot through Nick Blackman after Jean-Yves Mvoto hauled down Dave Kitson.

Sheffield United, who remain unbeaten in League One, would have moved second in the table if they had held on for the three points.
VIEWS FROM THE DRESSING ROOM
Sheffield United manager Danny Wilson told BBC Radio Sheffield:
We need to learn a lesson - Wilson
"I think it's a lesson we have to learn. Give them credit, they have persevered, which you'd expect us to do if we were in that situation. Then they've got a break.
"What's more disappointing is that we've not dealt with a ball that we've dealt with throughout the whole game.
"We've just got flat footed. The ball's just been lofted in and everyone just admired it."
