Sheffield United put Fulham to the sword this afternoon and will be disappointed to have not emerged victorious.
Chris Porter gave the Blades the lead after 30 minutes but at the beginning of the second period the Blades were reduced to 10 men as Michael Doyle lashed out. With eight minutes to go Rodallega sent the game to a replay with a clean strike.
Hugo Rodallega had an early chance to give the visitors the lead but he headed Giorgos Karagounis’ header just over the Sheffield United crossbar.
Fulham were forced into an early change as John Arne Riise makes way to be replaced by Plumain, Damien Duff moves to left-back.
As the rain picked up Jose Baxter had a good opportunity to give the Blades the lead from a free-kick in a central area but his strike caused no real danger and went the wrong side of the post.

League One strugglers Sheffield United will be targeting another Fa Cup upset in their fourth round tie at home to Premier League club Fulham.
The Blades won away at Villa Park to set up this tie whilst Rene Meulensteen’s side needed a replay to get past Norwich and remain in the oldest knockout football competition in the world.
Nigel Clough and United can be confident about their chances as they never lost to Fulham in a League Cup or Fa Cup tie in eight previous meetings. The last time these two sides met in the Premier League – some seven years ago – the Blades recorded a 2-0 win.
Knocking Aston Villa out of this competition is the only victory earned by the Blades in the New Year so far. I witnessed their last outing, a 2-...
