90+3'
FT: Arsenal 1-1 Sheffield United. It ends all square and that is certainly no less than the visitors deserve. Arsenal will be annoyed to have conceded late on, but were second-best for long stretches as both teams struggled to create chances.
90+3'
Henderson is off his line well to claim the loose ball after Arsenal won the first header from a corner.
90+2'
A free-kick is cleared as far as Besic, who shoots first time and catches it well but sees Leno save.
90+1'
Xhaka is booked for a cynical foul.
