Sheffield United continued their fine form with a sixth straight win in all competitions with a 1-0 win at Colchester United.

The blades left it late as a penalty from Chris Porter with just three minutes remaining ensured the points returned to Yorkshire.

Porter scored from the penalty spot just four minutes after coming off the bench as a substitute and he fired home after Ben Davies had been fouled in the area.
