Aston Villa vs Sheffield United LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction

Aston Villa and Sheffield United share the spoils with the game ending 1-1. The first half produced little action with the Midlands outfit dominating the possession but struggling to break the away team down. There were minimal talking points in the opening 45 minutes, but the game sparked into life after the break. Emery thought his side had opened the scoring after Bailey fired in Watkins' cross, but the goal was disallowed after a VAR check. The Villans kept pushing, but it was the Blades who broke the deadlock, with Archer pouncing in the box to score against his former club. It looked as though Wilder's men had won it late on, but a Zaniolo header deep into stoppage time levelled the scoring. Villa will travel to Manchester United on Boxing Day as they look to go top of the Premier League table. Up next for Sheffield United, they will host fellow strugglers Luton Town at Bramall Lane. That's all for today, goodbye!

Assist Douglas Luiz Soares de Paulo

Goal Nicolò Zaniolo

Villa are struggling to find a breakthrough in the final few minutes of the game. Emery's side are passing it back and forth inside the Sheffield United half, but the lack of creativity will be a major concern for the Midlands outfit. To their credit, Wilder's men have defended superbly.

Yellow Card Nicolò Zaniolo

The fourth official indicated just a few moments ago that there would be a minimum of nine minutes of added time at the end of the game. There has been a host of VAR checks, so it's certainly not surprising.

Villa are heavily pushing for an equaliser after the goal from United has sparked them into life. A delivery is deep towards the back post from Zaniolo and Moreno finds himself unmarked before powering a header towards goal, but Foderingham makes a superb stop to deny him.
