Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder was adamant they were denied a late penalty in defeat to Fulham.

Jayden Bogle clashed with Fulham goalkeeper Alphonso Areola late on, but it was denied by VAR.

Wilder said, "We've had to readjust our defence all season and it's another mistake - it's an error from Ethan Ampadu. He will be better for that experience.

"It's a penalty, 100%. It's reckless, it's high, I don't understand VAR. I'm not a huge lover of it, I've been public on that, if we can't get decisions like that right why are we having it? The keeper is reckless, he's not in control of his body. It's a penalty and these are the small margins at this level.

"Lots of games are tight and decided by a mistake or a poor decison and that would have got us back into the game.

"We believed we could get something out of the game. We have to go again regardless of the league position or the gap. We have to be professionalf and have pride and character.

"There's a bigger picture in this. The majority of people understand where we are at as a football club, it's our third season in the Premier League in the last 20 years, being realistic it doesn't look like we'll have a fourth one."
