Blades and Latics share the points
Sheffield United came from behind to draw 1-1 at home to Oldham.
A goal from substitute Jamal Campbell-Ryce in the second half cancelled out Jonathan Forte's first-half strike.
Jose Baxter threatened for the hosts inside the first minute with a shot on the turn which was pushed wide by goalkeeper Paul Rachubka.
Oldham's first chance of the game fell to Jabo Ibehre who put a shot straight at keeper Mark Howard.
United's Jamie Murphy then saw his long-range effort deflected wide before the visitors took the lead.
Daniel Johnson's superb ball into the area found Forte who slotted confidently past Howard after 16 minutes.
Johnson fired in a shot which just cleared the crossbar shortly afterwards, while at the other end Rachubka was forced to save a long-range drive from Bob Harris.
The equaliser came in the 63rd minute when Campbell-Ryce drilled in a low, angled shot from the right-hand side of the area and the ball found its way through a packed box to beat Rachubka.
Oldham had Ibehre sent off with three minutes remaining when he received a second yellow card.
