Williamson dampens Wednesday spirit
Lee Williamson ensured the 125th Steel City derby ended even as Sheffield United did arch-rivals Sheffield Wednesday no favours in their fight for Coca-Cola Championship survival.
The Owls, for whom Darren Potter opened the scoring with brilliant volley at the end of the first half, remain in the bottom three, one point from safety with two games remaining.
Blades midfielder Williamson curled a 60th-minute free-kick from near the goalline straight into the top corner to ensure another rip-roaring local derby ended all square in front of a Hillsborough crowd of 35,485.
Whether Williamson aimed for the top corner is arguable, but his fortuitous strike saved face for a Blades side that started the day 10 points adrift of the top six and had only pride to play for.
Wednesday, who slipped into the bottom three after successive defeats, must now win both their remaining games and hope Crystal Palace, Watford or Scunthorpe slip up.
