Blades pack off Fulham
Print Edition
Fulham’s miserable season reached a new low on Tuesday as the English Premier League club was sensationally beaten 0-1 at home by League One struggler Sheffield United after extra time in an FA Cup fourth-round replay.
Shaun Miller headed a dramatic winner for the third-tier club just a minute before the end of extra time of a particularly dour contest in the rain at Craven Cottage in London.
The Blades, who claimed their second EPL scalp of the campaign after knocking out Aston Villa in the third round, are second from bottom in League One.
But the difference in status hardly showed as the visitors fought for every ball and created the better chances against a Fulham side that is bottom of the EPL and on its second manager of the season in Rene Meulensteen.
With the match looking destined for a penalty shootout, Miller reacted quickly to glance home Harry Maguire’s header across goal, giving the Fulham goalkeeper no chance.
Nigel Clough’s team will now play either Nottingham Forest or Preston North End, who meet in another replay later, next.
