Video 👇 - Promoted Sheffield United missed out on the Championship title after Norwich won at Aston Villa, but the Blades ended the season well by twice coming from behind at draw specialists Stoke.
The Potters twice looked on course for what would have been a first win in six matches, first through Sam Vokes' 19th-minute right foot volley, then again when home skipper Ryan Shawcross scored from close range on 69 minutes.
But half-time substitute Kieran Dowell was first to level five minutes after coming on at the break.

Then full-back Enda Stevens drilled home a low left-foot shot, his fifth goal of season (and fourth in six games) stretched the second-placed Blades' late season run to just one defeat in 18 matches.
Stoke City Manager Nathan Jones:
"It was a different kind of draw to what we have had. In the first half, we were excellent. Sheffield United changed in the second half for us which is a massive compliment."
