It had to be a header. How could it have been anything else? On an evening when Nottingham Forest’s fans gathered to pay homage to the man who stooped to give them football’s greatest club prize, a late flick of Chris Wood’s head gave them the three points they demanded.
You suspect the late, great Trevor Francis would have approved of the manner in which Steve Cooper’s men showed resilience to pilfer their first three points of the season but, football man that he was, he would also have had sympathy for the utterly bereft Paul Heckingbottom.
Sheffield United didn’t deserve to lose an entertaining squabble but how many times have you seen a momentarily lapse in concentration lead to calamitous consequences?
