Sheffield United were the recipients of a harsh VAR decision but Chris Wilder s side battled back to draw 1-1 with Tottenham after Son Heung-min s opener on Saturday.
After Son who was initially set to be suspended for this match but had his red card for a tackle that led to Andre Gomes ankle injury overturned in midweek put Spurs ahead, the Blades looked to have equalised until VAR disallowed David McGoldrick s goal.
However, George Baldock earned a share of the spoils for the Blades 12 minutes from time.
While Spurs are without a win in five league matches, their London rivals Chelsea are having no such issues under Frank Lampard, as they claimed a 2-0 win over Crystal Palace.
Elsewhere, Everton claimed a vital away win at Southampton, Newcastle United…
He said: “Sometimes you just have to find a way to get over the finishing line and you know then that there are better performances ahead. I think we were in that moment today.
“I don’t think today was ever going to be a classic Newcastle performance, but I think it’s a building bridge closer to where we want to be.
“I thought Blackburn was very similar. We got through, that was the main thing. Today was slightly better again and I’d like to think now with the strength of the group returned that we will hopefully see continued improvement in performances.”
Newcastle were happy to sit back and try to hit the visitors on the break during the first half, and the ploy paid handsome dividends when Alexander Isak headed home after Bruno Guimaraes’ shot …
Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero has dismissed the likelihood of leaving the club for Real Madrid or Barcelona.

Looking to make it back-to-back Championship victories on Wednesday night, Fulham will welcome a struggling Cardiff to Craven Cottage.
Starting with the hosts, while Fulham might have struggled with their consistency when heading into the international break, they certainly marked their return with a real flurry over the weekend.

Tipped as a leading pick to book an immediate Premier League return, the Cottagers also have one attacking talisman enjoying a real purple patch. Once again bagging a brace last weekend, Aleksandar…
Cristiano Ronaldo has echoed the criticism of Real Madrid boss Jose Mourinho, bemoaning Barcelona s favourable treatment by referees.
Los Blancos suffered a 2-0 loss to their bitter La Liga rivals in their Champions League semi-final first leg at the Bernabeu, and now have a mammoth task on their hands as they look to overturn the deficit away at Camp Nou next Tuesday.

(Jose) Mourinho is right, just look at what happened with Arsenal, Chelsea and Int…
Spain striker Diego Costa could return from injury in his nation s final pre-FIFA World Cup friendly against El Salvador on Saturday.
Costa has not appeared since limping off in Atletico Madrid s UEFA Champions League final defeat to city rivals Real Madrid last month.
The Brazilian-born forward has been battling muscle problems in recent months, but Spain coach Vicente del Bosque will be hoping the 25-year-old will be fit enough to give his side an extra attacking dimension as they seek to defend their World Cup title.
And while a start in Spain s World Cup opener against the side they beat in the 2010 World Cup final the Netherlands may be unlikely, Costa could see some game time this weekend as he looks for match sharpness.
Club-mate Juanfran who has an injury…
