Sheffield United 2 : 2 Leyton Orient - O's hold Blade in thriller
Posted Sunday, October 12, 2014 by PA
Romain Vincelot headed a dramatic equaliser in the ninth minute of stoppage time to earn a point for Leyton Orient in a 2-2 draw at Sheffield United.
The hosts thought they had won it when Paddy McCarthy smashed home a last-minute equaliser and substitute Marc McNulty put them ahead in stoppage-time.
But the visitors, who had to play with only 10 men for the final quarter of an hour after Jobi McAnuff was shown the red card, were celebrating at the end following Vincelot's late, late intervention.
Jay Simpson gave the visitors a 38th-minute lead, taking advantage of a fumble from keeper Mark Howard, who failed to claim from Bradley Prtichard's ball across the face of goal.
The visitors had McAnuff sent off in the 75th minute after he received a second yellow card for fouling Craig Alcock.
Goals from McCarthy and McNulty looked to have won it for United until Vincelot got on the end of a Jack Price corner.
