In the aftermath of the goal, a heated argument between Sheffield United pair Vinícius Souza and Jack Robinson descended into pushing.

A VAR check was required before both were allowed to continue in scenes reminiscent of a fight between Newcastle players Lee Bowyer and Kieron Dyer that saw both sent-off in 2005.

Speaking to Radio Sheffield, Blades boss Chris Wilder wasn’t fussed about the incident.

“I’m alright with it as you can absolutely expect I would be,” Wilder said.

“The narrative is that we don’t care outside of the football club, not by our supporters.

“These things happen, I don’t want to make too much of it.

“They’re alright, as long as it doesn’t carry on. I’ve had that in my time previous here.

“It doesn’t matter. They shake hands, they get on, they want to win, they want to do well and they’re passionate about the football club.

“Of course, you want to make sure it doesn’t go over.”
