Sheffield United turned around a two-goal deficit within five minutes to beat Colchester United 3-2 in League One on Tuesday evening.

George Moncur's first-half goal was followed by Freddie Sears's 77th-minute strike, but the Blades pulled two back through Ben Davies and Ryan Flynn on 83 and 85 minutes. The dramatic winner came after a Davies penalty just two minutes before the final whistle to complete the comeback.
