Sheff Utd   1 - 1   Leicester

A fine strike from on-loan Keith Treacy gave Sheffield United a point after a high octane clash at Bramall Lane.

The Blades threatened midway through the first half when Nick Montgomery's deflected effort looped on to the bar.

There was also a deflection in the first goal as Matt Oakley's 30-yard free-kick struck Matty Fryatt and wrong-footed home keeper Mark Bunn.

But Treacy hit a 25-yard shot into the top corner and the Blades might have won it, Stephen Quinn close twice.


Sheffield United boss Kevin Blackwell:

"It was a game of two halves, we weren't at the races first half, but I thought we showed a great response in the second half.

"We were much better in the second half when Stephen Quinn came on.

"I didn't know [Keith Treacy] had a right foot like that. If I'd known, I'd have played him on the right."

Leicester boss Nigel Pearson:

"There will be times during the season in this league, because it is so tough, when things don't go your way.

"I think the players have seen that they can compete, if there was any doubts in their minds.

"But it is very early days, we have only played three league games."
