Sheffield United 0-0 Bournemouth: Blades denied late penalty claim as they fail to close gap on Scott Parker's promotion chasing Cherries

Sheffield United were held to a 0-0 draw at home to promotion rivals Bournemouth on Saturday afternoon.

The hosts will be disappointed to come away with just a point after a dominant performance, a handful of good chances and a penalty claim they felt should've been given.

The result means the Blades are just three points above other teams vying for a Play-Off spot at the end of the season - while Bournemouth still sit comfortably in an automatic promotion spot.
