Sheffield United 3-1 Coventry: Hosts move level on points with Championship leaders Burnley after James McAtee, Ciaran Clark and Tommy Doyle strike before John Egan sees red

Quite what Manchester City prospect James McAtee goes on to achieve remains to be seen, but helping Sheffield United back to the Premier League might just be the first significant notch on his CV.

The 20-year-old midfielder joined the Blades on a season-long loan last summer in search of regular first-team football and maybe, just maybe, to be part of a promotion-winning side.

Slowly but surely, a highly-regarded talent who has been on City’s books since he was 10 is proving an increasingly important member of Paul Heckingbottom’s team.
