Sheffield United fans are feeling slightly hopeful after Sander Berge's late goal handed them a lifeline in the Championship play-off semi-final clash with Nottingham Forest.
Jack Colback gave the Reds the lead on ten minutes, but it could have been a much greater advantage had Brennan Johnson and Sam Surridge converted their golden opportunities.
Johnson doubled Forest's lead midway through the second-half when he rifled Joe Lolley's deflected pull-back bast Wes Foderingham; but Berge leapt highest in stoppage-time to connect with Morgan Gibbs-White's corner, reducing the deficit to just one ahead of the second-leg.

It means the clash remains finely poised going into the second-leg clash on Tuesday (May 17) under the City Ground lights. This is what some United fans had to say on social media after full-time...
@thepataddy: This might sound outrageous but I'm confident we'll get something Tuesday. We play like we can like we have done we beat these
@nathangleed99: Got absolutely battered in first half lucky to be still in with a slim chance , another days another game , come onnnn
@Average_blade: At 2-0 I’d have been fuming if that was the FT score. 2-1 feels slightly better. There’s some hope in that scoreline. Need an early goal on Tuesday and we need the team to ******* turn up.
@TJ1889: Performance more disappointing than the result. Got to hold yer hands up & say Florist were the better side. All over us. Went into the tie in good form & never got going. Mistakes all over. Got to go for it on Tuesday. Nowt to lose.
@ThaKnows2: Any point in even thinking we could win Tuesday. To be in with a chance still is mad. Should be 4-0 down but its football. And anything could happen. We will be underdogs and that's better for us
@Fore_____: Forest turned up, we didn’t ... simple ... well played #NFFC out of all the sides in the Championship Forest are the only one I think could possibly stay up in the Prem.. they look hungry for it
@LBurke89: To only be one goal down in the tie after that game is very lucky, but come on you blades on Tuesday
