Championship side Sheffield United earned an FA Cup fifth-round replay after a dogged display against Hull.

The hosts took the lead after only six minutes when Greg Halford headed in from David Cotterill’s cross.

But the Blades lost defender Chris Morgan to injury after he was hurt in a challenge with Michael Turner, and Hull took advantage to come into the game.

The Premier League side levelled the score when Kamil Zayatte powerfully headed in an Andy Dawson centre.

Hull could probably do without the replay as they look to secure their status in the top flight.

But United’s performance was just what they needed after stuttering in their promotion push over the past month.

The game marked the first anniversary of Kevin Blackwell’s appointment as Blades boss.
