McBurnie’s 103rd-minute penalty earns Sheff Utd draw

Sheffield United 2-2 West Ham United: Oli McBurnie scores 103rd-minute penalty to help Blades drawLast updated on 7 minutes ago.From the section Premier League

Oli McBurnie has scored in four consecutive home top-flight matches for Sheffield UnitedSheffield United’s Oli McBurnie scored the latest ever goal in the Premier League, dispatching a 103rd-minute penalty to rescue a point Sheffield United against West Ham.

Sheffield United were awarded the spot-kick in the 98th minute when Hammers keeper Alphonse Areola took out McBurnie.

And having been made to wait to take his spot-kick, the forward smashed his effort beyond substitute stopper Lukasz Fabianski with Areola forced to leave the pitch after receiving treatment.

West Ham had been cruising towards a 2-1 victory after James Ward-Prowse’s successful penalty in the 79th minute.

Maxwel Cornet had given the Hammers a first-half lead with his first goal for the club before Ben Brereton Diaz equalised on the stroke of half-time on his Premier League debut.

In second-half injury time, the match intensified with two red cards and two penalty shouts.

Sheffield United substitute Rhian Brewster was sent off after video assistant referee intervention (VAR) for a high, late tackle on Emerson.

And Tomas Soucek was given a yellow card for demanding Brewster’s sending off, before receiving a second booking minutes later for a cynical trip.

The drama continued even after the Blades’ late equaliser, with the Hammers wanting a late penalty of their own after Jarrod Bowen went down in the area.
