'Lifetime contract' - Nottingham Forest fans react to late Sheffield United drama

Ryan Yates headed in a dramatic stoppage-time equaliser as Nottingham Forest rescued a point at Sheffield United.

Brennan Johnson had missed a glorious chance to put the Reds ahead from the penalty spot in the first half but saw Wes Foderingham save his spot-kick awarded for a foul on Djed Spence.

Forest created plenty of chances to take the lead but were made to pay for their profligacy when ex-Reds striker Billy Sharp nodded in at the far post after the break.

But just as Forest looked on course for defeat, Yates popped up at the back post to meet James Garner's corner to give them a deserved point.

And Reds fans wasted no time in racing to Twitter to give their views and here's what they had to say.

Tom Home: Ethan Horvath, take a bow. Fantastic performance

Henrik NFFC Johansen: "One point is better than nothing, but we should have won that match! But when you do not score on your chances and leave Sharp all alone, it becomes difficult. Well fought and a very good game by the boys so the disappointment is to bear. Now it's the FA Cup."

FPL Forest: "Bittersweet, so many chances but yet again someone bails us out of it at the end, Yates lifetime contract pls."

Seb: "That was the least we deserved!! Played well lads, but we have to be more clinical in the run-in! Good away point tho. On to Monday night now."

Alladge Gervens: "Think we deserved all three. Have to finish chances against these other contenders. But that’ll do. Good to see Lolley and Mighten out there. Win on Monday."

Cameron Hall: "Should have won with the number of chances we had, however glad we didn’t lose."

DrinkLinkOff: "What a performance. Score that penalty and we win 2 or 3 nil. Never die attitude is tremendous. Horvath definitely keeps his place."

Jason Gray: "From one of the most unfairly maligned players at the club. Kudos to Yates. A wonderful header."
