Sheffield United secured their first Premier League win of the season in dramatic fashion as Oliver Norwood's last-gasp penalty snatched a 2-1 win against Wolves.
After a disjointed first-half performance, the Blades were much improved after the break and made their dominance count. Cameron Archer (72) thundered home a superb effort off the underside of the crossbar to see the hosts deservedly ahead.
But Wolves - who went into the game unbeaten in five Premier League matches - hit back in the 89th minute. Jean-Ricner Bellegarde's shot on the turn was deflected in and looked to condemn the Blades to another winless game.

Wolves had the better of possession and chances in the first half. Wes Foderingham was called into a fine save in the 25th minute, sending Matheus Cunha's effort over the bar. Then, Rayan Ait-Nouri poked just wide, having collected a shanked Hwang Hee-Chan shot.
Wolves manager Gary O'Neil to Sky Sports:
"The talk with the lads after the game was about us in the second half not responding and making bad decisions with the ball. Sheffield United had come slightly more aggressive in the second half and we didn't make good decisions with that.
"We lose here together - that's not on Fabio. That's on me, the players, the staff, everyone. Fabio had a part to play in the penalty that wasn't a penalty and he was very upset about it. He's a young lad who has my full backing and support. We move on and make sure we do better next week.
"First half, we should have been clear. We created some big chances and didn't take them. There were some strange decisions in front of goal.
Sheffield United manager Paul Heckingbottom to Sky Sports:
"I thought the performance was very good. In the first half, it was a little bit tame, both teams feeling each other out. In the second half, we were much more aggressive. We played with more energy, took risks and the wall back high and didn't let Wolves out of their half.
"They still defended well so chances were at a premium. It's a good and deserved win.
"We've been close many times so far, so it's a reward. But we're still in the same position. The message is still the same - you need cool heads in this situation. We know we're fighting against some really good teams, but we know we've been in games and could have won them like today.
