Sheffield United's FA Cup third-round match against Mansfield Town ended in a stunning upset as the visitors secured a 4-3 victory at Bramall Lane. The result is one of the biggest shocks of the tournament so far, with many questioning how a team that finished sixth in League One managed to outscore an established Premier League side.
Mansfield Town took control of the match from the start, and their pressure paid off when they opened the scoring through Jordan Bowery just nine minutes into play. Sheffield United struggled to respond, but eventually found a way back into the game with two goals in quick succession from Oliver Norwood and John Fleck.
However, Mansfield Town refused to give up and continued to push hard for more goals. In the 73rd minute, they levelled the scores once again when Jordan Bowery scored his second of the match, leaving Sheffield United reeling. The visitors then took control for good in the 85th minute with a goal from Maloney, who also provided two assists in the match.
Sheffield United's goalkeeper, Dean Henderson, was left frustrated as he could do nothing to prevent Mansfield Town's fourth goal. Despite their best efforts, the Blades were unable to mount a serious comeback and were ultimately defeated by a team that many had written off before kick-off.
The result is a major boost for Mansfield Town, who have now pulled off one of the biggest upsets in FA Cup history. For Sheffield United, it's a bitter pill to swallow after they were expected to advance to the next round with more ease.

I'm literally shaking right now!! how did Mansfield even...?! I mean, I've seen some surprises in football before, but this one takes the cake! Sheffield United is like, a Premier League team and they get OUTscored by a team that finished 6th in league one?! it's just mental 
Dean Henderson must be feeling so frustrated right now, that's like getting beat by your own teammates 
this is like, FA Cup history right here, people are gonna be talking about this for years to come 
But seriously, it's a huge upset, especially considering how established Premier League teams usually dominate in the FA Cup. Dean Henderson was all shook up after that 4th goal 
, but hey, you can't script these kinds of comebacks... unless you're Mansfield Town, apparently! 
. Anyways, congrats to Mansfield Town on one of the biggest FA Cup shocks ever! 
that maloney guy is a genius, 2 assists and a goal wow! how did sheffield united even struggle so much in the first place? they were always considered one of the top teams in league one 
what does this mean for mansfield town's chances of making it to the next round? are they gonna be the darlings of the fa cup now 
what an insane match! I was on the edge of my seat the whole time 
and their teamwork was 
Sheffield United's defense was super weak 
they just couldn't keep up with Mansfield's pressure 
Dean Henderson's face 
but they proved everyone wrong 
and now they're moving on to the next round 
️!
sheffield united is gonna have a hard time bouncing back from this 4-3 loss 
but hey, at least they got a good lesson on how to defend against top-tier teams 
They took it to Sheffield United and came out on top! 
Can't wait to see how this one affects the Premier League table 
Dean Henderson had no chance on those goals, poor bloke... 
. You can't fault the gaffer for trying to bring in new players, but it seems like they still need a bit of work. I'm loving this upset though, it's what makes the FA Cup so amazing 
. Can't wait to see how this affects their season
