Both of Forest's goals have been headers from Serge Aurier's cross.
That goal ends the run of Taiwo Awoniyi scoring Forest's last six Premier League goals.
Chris Wood (89 mins)
Forest have surely won the game!!!
Serge Aurier bends in a cross from the right and Chris Wood flicks a header past the keeper into the back of the net.
Nottingham Forest 1-1 Sheffield United
Lovely skill by Anthony Elanga to beat Ben Osborn but his cross is cut out.
Nottingham Forest 1-1 Sheffield United
Anthony Elanga has worked hard since coming on for Forest. He tracks back to win the ball off Gustavo Hamer.
Nottingham Forest 1-1 Sheffield United
Ha ha ha, how pointless is this. Ben Osborn takes his time over a throw-in and after he's taken it the referee blows the whistle and books him for time-wasting. Wasting another 20 seconds himself to do that.
Nottingham Forest 1-1 Sheffield United
Serge Aurier overhits a cross but Anthony Elanga puts a defender under good pressure and wins a throw-in.

Nottingham Forest 1-1 Sheffield United
Home fans shout for a penalty as Ryan Yates' cross is blocked. Referee not interested.
Nottingham Forest 1-1 Sheffield United
Sheffield United should be ahead. Two Forest defenders make a mess of a long ball and Benie Traore speeds away. You think he's going to slot home from 20 yards but Matt Turner gets down low to palm the shot away.
Nottingham Forest 1-1 Sheffield United
Matt Turner drops a cross, but it's because some Sheffield United players had crashed into him. Free out.
Nottingham Forest 1-1 Sheffield United
Serge Aurier heads away the corner.
Nottingham Forest 1-1 Sheffield United
A very patient build-up from Sheffield United, with Benie Traore heavily involved, and it ends with Oliver Norwood's corner being chested behind for a corner.
Nottingham Forest 1-1 Sheffield United
Sheffield United bring on teenager Andre Brooks for William Osula.
Nottingham Forest 1-1 Sheffield United
Blades goalscorer Gustavo Hamer goes into the book for fouling Morgan Gibbs-White, who was spinning him to get on the end of a one-two.
Nottingham Forest 1-1 Sheffield United
Anthony Elanga has a shot, blocked by Chris Basham. The Forest fans are in good voice again.

The fact that Chris Basham is again playing in midfield shows how thin are the Blades in certain roles. But they are well coached and still have decent players (I was impressed by Souza). This couple of week of the transfer market will be HUGE for them. If they can add two or three important players (a 9 in particular) they can fight even after the dearly losses they had.

Nottingham Forest 1-1 Sheffield United
Good run by Forest's Brennan Johnson down the right. Maybe he could try to find Anthony Elanga but doesn't, but he does pull it back to Danilo, whose shot is blocked.
