Chris Wilder clashed with Plymouth Argyle players in the Home Park tunnel after their stunning comeback on Saturday lunchtime.

Wilder and his Premier League chasing Sheffield United had travelled down to Cornwall for their Championship fixture with rock bottom Plymouth. And the Blades had looked set to be cruising to all three points.

However, a whirlwind final ten minutes, saw the Pilgrims spin the game on its head and position themselves for the most grand of great escapes this season.

United, however, were furious as they surrendered more ground to Leeds United at the summit of the table. And there were ugly scenes after the full-time whistle.

Wilder was leading his team away from the pitch when he took umbrage with two Plymouth players celebrating in front of the away end.

There was some pushing and shoving as players from both teams piled in as tempers flared down the tunnel. Michael Brown, speaking on Sky Sports said: "These aren't good scenes.

"That's often where the players often feel there's a bit of protection, bit of privacy - and it's got a bit heated!"

"Sky Sports here calling it 'ugly scenes' when in actual fact, pretty much everyone loves to see it," one fan joked. While a cheeky Leeds fan shared: "Blades. Blades are falling apart again!"

And another added: "Chris Wilder is the most unprofessional professional manager in the league!"

There was more frustration for United up north as Leeds secured all three points against Preston North End. The Peacocks are now five points clear of United at the top of the Championship table.

Burnley are sandwiched between the pair, taking up the other automatic promotion spot, on the same points as Leeds. The Clarets took all three points against Norwich City on Friday night.
