Sheffield United loses top spot after Oxford upset
Sheffield United slipped to second in the EFL Championship after going down 1-0 to relegation-threatened Oxford United at Kassam Stadium.
After Burnley had beaten Coventry City 2-1 earlier in the day to go to take the league lead, the Blades knew a victory would see them reclaim top spot.
However, Siriki Dembele's first-half strike separated the two teams, with Gary Rowett's side now four points clear of the bottom three with six matches to play.
It also brought an end to the Blades' impressive away run.
Chris Wilder's team had won six straight games on the road, its best streak in 132 years.
But the Blades remain in second after Leeds United was held to a draw by Luton Town, with Millwall the visitors to Bramall Lane this coming week.
