Charlton 1-1 Shefield United

 

 Charlton took the game to Shefeild United, mainly because a point would suit the away team much better than it would Charlton, and charlton took the lead 15 minuites into the second half when El Karkouri's deflected shot found its way past Paddy kenny.

 

However, 10 minuites later John Stead scored the leveller for the baldes, and they were very happy to take a point from the valley.

 Fined!

 

 The Football Association has fined Sheffield United £10,000 and Reading £5,000 after a touchline fracas during their match on 20 January.

Reading coach Wally Downes has also been fined £2,000 and handed a one-match touchline ban. Downes had admitted a charge of improper conduct.

That match also saw Blades substitute Keith Gillespie sent off for swinging an arm into the face of Reading midfielder Stephen Hunt. This was then followed by sideline fisty-cuffs.

Everton 1-1 Shefeild United

 

Everton have scored the most goals in injury time this season, 5 in all, and so if they did fall behind, there was certainly a chance that they could come back and get the all important pojnt that was needed to lift them into 6th.

 

 

After a very dull first half at Bramel Lane, the home side took the lead when the enonemous Rob Hulse turned the ball into Tim Howards net from a decent bit of play down the right hand side.

 

This sparked life into the Everton team, who were awarded a penalty after Andy Johnson was brought down by Paddy Kenny. Mikel Arteta cooly converted the spot kick.
