Sheffield United had to settle for a point, in a hard fought 1-1 draw against Walsall at Bramall Lane.
Chris Porter scored from the penalty spot on the stroke of half time to give the blades the lead, his third goal in four games since returning from his loan spell at Chesterfield.
Craig Westcarr equalised early in the second half when he headed home for the visitors.
Jamie Murphy went closest to winning the game for the blades but he headed just wide late in the game.
