Aston Villa 3-3 Sheffield United result: Billy Sharp fires hat-trick but Blades stunned by fightback
Sheffield United missed the chance to move top of the Championship as they threw away a 3-0 lead to be pegged back to a 3-3 draw at Aston Villa.Billy Sharp’s hat-trick put Chris Wilder’s men on course for a seemingly easy win and a place at the summit of the second-tier table for a few hours at least.But strikes from Tyrone Mings, Tammy Abraham and Andre Green inside 15 crazy second-half minutes salvaged an unlikely point for Villa.3

Andre Green rescued a point for Villa in a dramatic clash

Sharp’s inspirational goalscoring had earlier been the major difference between the two teams.The pedigree of the United side was a problem for a Villa team again without the services of Jack Grealish and James Chester.As a result, Villa were subjected to heavy pressure and it was no real surprise when the Blades took an 11th-minute lead.A left-wing corner was knocked back into the middle by on-loan Gary Madine and Sharp was on hand to score from about eight yards to record his 21st goal of the season.3

Billy Sharp had looked like firing Sheffield United to the top of the Championship

Villa’s makeshift defence was never at ease against relentless pressure from a United side that was visibly keyed-up and determined to maintain their concentrated promotion push.Villa were openly frustrated by United’s ability to switch swiftly from defence to attack.John McGinn was a tireless worker but generally Villa were badly disjointed.There was an immediate second-half improvement from Villa as they seemingly realised they had to raise their game to make an impact.In the circumstances United were seemingly content to mount a defensive blockade but they were denied a second goal by a last-ditch tackle by Tommy Elphick to thwart Madine.But in the 53rd minute Sharp again demonstrated his lethal finishing skills, albeit in controversial circumstances. Nikola Kalinic made a save but the ball bounced above him as he was falling and Sharp nudged his effort over the line, with the keeper appearing to have hold of the ball with both hands.Sharp was on fire and could not be contained, as he demonstrated when he headed his third goal in the 62nd minute following a right-wing cross.On-loan Mings grabbed Villa’s 82nd-minute goal on his home debut before Abraham tapped home when United keeper Dean Henderson parried Elphick’s shot four minutes from time.GETTY3

Tammy Abraham helped Villa fight back to rescue a point

Green then popped up at the back post to head home John McGinn’s cross for his dramatic injury-time equaliser.
