Sheffield United maintained their five-point advantage at the top of Sky Bet League One after a 1-1 draw with nearest rivals Scunthorpe at Bramall Lane.

Scunthorpe's Harry Toffolo was then sent off in the 51st minute for a wild challenge on Kieron Freeman before both sides hit the woodwork late on.

Bolton were unable to close the gap on Scunthorpe despite coming from 2-0 down to draw 2-2 at Bradford.

The Bantams started brightly and a pair of goals from Charlie Wyke had them coasting after 16 minutes.

But the Trotters rallied and second-half goals from David Wheater and Gary Madine earned them a share of the spoils.
