What a chance! The Blades look to counter-attack once again and Hamer launches a ball in behind the Wolves defence. McAtee latches onto it and he races away from Dawson. He bears down on goal and he only has Sa to beat, but he gets his shot all wrong and it trickles into the arms of the goalkeeper. He has to do better from there!
