Blades held in Villa thriller

Sheffield United 2 Aston Villa 2

Stiliyan Petrov opened the scoring after just 76 seconds with his first goal for Villa following his £6.5 million move from Celtic in August.

However, Irish youngster Stephen Quinn and Danny Webber hit back for the Blades in a rousing second half at Bramall Lane, only for Baros to clinch Villa’s seventh draw in nine away games this season.
