It was a good day on the goal front for Scotland duo John Fleck and Oliver McBurnie as they both netted in a dramatic Sheffield United draw.

With seconds to go though and the game at 3-2 Manchester United, McBurnie stepped up to secure a point for Chris Wilder’s side, who remain in the top six following this result.
Confidence builders for Scotland pair Fleck and McBurnie
For the Blades’ first goal, Fleck got a bit of good fortune. As the ball ricocheted off the post, it came back out and Fleck managed to bundle his second of the season over the line.
McBurnie’s second of the season came very late in the day. After a scramble in the box, the ball fell to McBurnie, who controlled the ball excellently before volleying the ball home.

It’s a confidence booster for the striker as that’s his first strike since August. Fleck meanwhile has been able to continue his impressive form that’s seen him break into the Scotland side.
Wilder has the Blades flying and the Scotland duo will look to help contribute to their impressive Premier League efforts ahead of the Euro play-offs in March.
