Troy Deeney scored a clinical equaliser for Birmingham to cancel out Oli McBurnie’s second-half opener and deny leaders Sheffield United a fifth straight win.

Paul Heckingbottom’s Blades were on course for victory when the revitalised McBurnie smashed home a fine strike to open the scoring in the 64th minute.

It was his fifth goal in his past six games but the visitors, inspired by veteran skipper Deeney, were not to be denied.
