Sheffield United 1-0 Bristol City: James McAtee scores as the Blades edge closer to securing automatic promotion to the Premier League

Sheffield United will be trying to beat Manchester City in this Saturday’s FA Cup semi-final but here they couldn’t have been more grateful to them.

James McAtee, the talented 20-year-old midfielder on loan from the Etihad, scored a crucial winner that took them a giant stride towards the Premier League.

Just as the Blades looked set to offer Luton Town real hope in the automatic promotion race, McAtee, who’d been thrown on at half-time to provide much-needed energy, struck his fourth goal in six games.

Iliman Ndiaye picked him out in space inside the Bristol City box and the finish was cool and clinical.
