Derby’s play-off push unravels as Sheffield United punish errors, with Tom Cannon levelling before Sydie Peck thumps in from distance to complete the turnaround

It had been all Derby but when United won a free-kick just outside the area, Zetterstrom had to dive to his right to deny Gustavo Hamer.

Derby were doing everything they could to get the win they needed and only some resolute United defending denied Matt Clarke a second goal.

United spent most of the half on the back foot but had a decent spell before half-time, without really threatening the Derby goal.

It was the visitors' goal that came under threat again early in the second half, with a Ward free-kick punched away by Adam Davies at his near post.

United almost caught Derby on the break in the 56th minute with Bamford playing in Callum O'Hare, who shot narrowly wide.

Derby had done little wrong until the 62nd minute when a poor backpass by Ward allowed Bamford to set up Cannon to score with a low shot from 12 yards.

It got even worse for the Rams seven minutes later when Peck was given the space to unleash a shot from 25 yards that whistled into the bottom right corner.

United came close to a third when Bamford played in a low ball to Ings, who was denied by a point-blank save from Zetterstrom.

Derby were struggling to create anything and although 10 minutes of stoppage time gave them some hope, it was United who looked more likely to score again.
