DAVID MCGOLDRICK NOTCHED his sixth goal of the season this evening as Sheffield United took the lead at home to Championship rivals West Brom at Bramall Lane.
The 31-year-old Irish striker pounced on a wonderfully weighted pass from Mark Duffy and held off the challenge of Ahmed Hegazy to slot his low finish past Sam Johnstone.
Gareth Barry got West Brom back on level terms before the break.
The former England international latched onto the end of Harvey Barnes’s low cross and made no mistake from eight yards.
Former Arsenal defender Kieran Gibbs scored the winner for West Brom in the second half as the visitors moved within four points of Championship leaders, Norwich City.
Murray Kinsella, Gavan Casey and Eddie O’Sullivan preview another big weekend of Heineken Cup action and dissect the week’s main talking points.

Gareth Barry got Norwich back in level terms before the break??
@Paul Cullen: It must have been the yellow jerseys that confused whoever wrote it!
Could move up the pecking order under Mick
@Jonny Bottles: He will do. Did well for a spell at Ipswich under Mick and has a strange combo of guile and goalscoring ability.
He could Jonny. Give my regards to your brother Blue.
Great but is he consistent? Same as all the rest, when someone scores or makers a play, you guys have it up here, not knocking a goal scored but what you pundits subscribe to is wanting a superstar so please stop trying to convince us all we have a saviour for Irish soccer. No offence but stop.
@John Riordan: To be fair he’s been very good this season and if you look at the other striking options Ireland gave he’s overtaking them.Long/Hogan completely out of form and injury problems,Maguire and Walters can’t stay fit,Sheridan has gone off the radar and O’Brien inconsistent.Robinson looks the best option right now but is injured as is Obafemi who is still quite raw.
