Oldham Athletic 2-2 Sheffield United
- Published
Promotion-chasing Sheffield United came from 2-0 down at half-time to draw with mid-table Oldham Athletic.
Dominic Poleon opened the scoring from 12 yards out after hesitation in the Blades' defence and added a second with a fantastic 35-yard shot on the turn.
After Poleon missed a chance for a hat-trick, Jason Holt pulled one back from eight yards out.
Jamie Murphy forced home a corner which referee Richard Clark had overruled his assistant to award.
Nigel Clough's visitors could have won it but Michael Doyle's shot from 20 yards out hit a post.
Oldham boss Dean Holden told BBC Radio Manchester:
"For the second goal the referee has overruled the linesman and given a corner.
"Everyone in the ground knows it's not a corner.
"But you know you've got to defend the cross - whether it's a corner or not is by the by. We didn't do that well enough.
"Dominic [Poleon] is one of those players who excites people and gets them out of their seats.
"Since I've been in charge he's given everything. He scares full-backs to death because he's so quick."
