While we were heading towards a victory for the Blades, which took time to take shape until this goal from Cameron Archer at the end of the match (0-1, 87th), Nicolò Zaniolo emerged as a savior to place a header on the gong (1-1, 90+8th). A goal which still allows Aston Villa to temporarily move to 2nd, even if a victory would have propelled Unai Emery’s players to first place in the ranking. For its part, Sheffield is groping its way forward and is no longer last, but 19th.
