Sheffield United defender Max Lowe admits his team-mates gave him stick for losing touchline scuffle with Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson

Sheffield United defender Max Lowe admitted he was taking stick from his team-mates for coming out on the losing side of a touchline scuffle with Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson.

The pair clashed midway through the second half of Palace's 1-0 opening day win when Hodgson stopped Lowe from retrieving the ball in the dugout, with the Blades left-back appearing to shove the 76-year-old in the midriff.

They both laughed off the exchange shortly after, but Lowe was not allowed to forget it in the dressing room.

'His abs are stronger than I thought, obviously,' Lowe said after the game.
