\n<\/p>\n
Battling Stoke staged a fine comeback to stun Sheffield United with a 2-1 win at the bet365 Stadium.<\/p>\n
Two goals in the space of 11 breathtaking second-half minutes from Jack McGlynn and super-sub Sam Gallagher saw the Potters turn the game on its head and make it an impressive four wins in their last five Sky Bet Championship fixtures.<\/p>\n
Kalvin Phillips’ first league goal for five-and-a-half years, a 51st-minute long-range free-kick, had put the Blades on course for what would have been only their second away league win of the season.<\/p>\n
But McGlynn levelled for the hosts in the 78th minute with a left-foot screamer – his second goal in as many games – and Gallagher completed a battling fightback with a sublime 86th-minute volley which was worthy of winning any game.<\/p>\n
The unchanged home side started the brighter of the two sides and could have been ahead after only 12 minutes.<\/p>\n
Djibril Soumare had time and space but rifled his left-foot shot from the edge of the area straight at an alert Michael Cooper.<\/p>\n
Lamine Cisse, making his 150th career appearance, fired wide of the target shortly afterwards as the hosts pressed for an opener.<\/p>\n
And just before the half-hour mark Ben Johnson cut inside after receiving the ball wide on the right, only to power his left-foot shot at Cooper.<\/p>\n
