Sheffield United: A Disallowed Goal With Its Effects

Relief for others. Wolverhampton, Tottenham, and Arsenal would all be relieved that Sheffield had a draw instead of a win.

These 3 teams will continue to hope for losses from Manchester and Sheffield United. The teams under Sheffield would be relieved as other teams can close the gap or potentially overtake them.

Sheffield United’s draw should be a boost of confidence for teams like Wolves and Tottenham. They are still near Sheffield in terms of points and have the opportunity of overtaking them in the table standings.

For Tottenham, they now have an added boost with the return of Harry Kane and have a serious chance of qualifying for European football. For Wolves, they are now only 1 point behind Sheffield instead of 3. That is beneficial to them as a draw from Sheffield and a Wolves win could put them above Sheffield and potentially even Manchester United.

In the end, Sheffield’s goal they “scored” cannot be given now and there is nothing that can be done. A draw is a draw and they have to accept the 1 point.

But their draw has a couple of direct effects to them and teams lower on the table. The race for European football just got more interesting, every single point is crucial to their push.
