Sheffield United manager Paul Heckingbottom praised his side for not falling into Bristol City's traps having switched his formation at half-time as the contest at Bramall Lane was increasingly playing into the visitor's hands.
City controlled most of the play in the opening 45 minutes, albeit struggling to create clear-cut opportunities with Harry Cornick registering the only shot on target. However, Sam Bell was arguably pulled back when through on goal just moments before he failed to connect with a header inside the area.
He also had a strike blocked inside the box but despite the lack of goalmouth action, City proved they could mix it with a side who are on the brink of earning automatic promotion to the Premier League.
