United scored late on to earn a point against relegation rivals Accrington Stanley in a tight game on Easter Monday.
Mark Hughes made one forced changed to the startling line-up, with Joe Hugill replacing the suspended Matty Dennis.
The Blues created the first chance of the game with just two minutes on the clock. Callum Whelan sent it down the right for Jack Ellis who got a good ball into the box but Georgie Kelly could only head over the bar.
The striker was involved again moments later when he won the flick on from a long ball forward. Joe Hugill got on the end of it and there were ambitious shouts for a penalty from the sold-out away end as he went down in the box, but the referee wasn't interested.
The next chance of the game fell to Joe Hugill. Terell Thomas did well on the edge of the box to recycle a cleared free kick, he got it to Hugill in the box but former-United man Mick Kelly made the save in the Accrington goal.
Accrington's first opening fell to Coyle who had a shot blocked from the edge of the box after Jack Ellis had cleared Love's dangerous cross into the box.
Josh Woods then charged down an Aaron Hayden clearance which rebounded nicely for the striker who made his way towards Gabe Breeze's goal, but Hayden got back to get an important touch and get it away before he could get the shot off.
Aaron Hayden got on the end of a driven Stephen Wearne corner as United continued to create the more clear-cut chances, but the powerful header was straight at the keeper.
HALF-TIME: Accrington 0-0 United
With ten minutes of the second half played, United created the best chance of the game. Hugill slid it through for Kelly but the shot came back off the post and Stephen Wearne's follow up was well blocked by an Accrington defender.
United continued to press and created another chance shortly afterwards, some great one-touch passing opened up space on the edge of the box but Fusire's shot was pushed away by the keeper.
The home side took the lead after 68 minutes when a dangerous cross came through from their right, Sonny Aljofree got the faintest of touches to send it past Breeze.
The Blues sent Aaron Hayden up front for the final ten minutes and he almost got on the end of an Embleton cross, his glancing header took it away from Georgie Kelly who slid in at the back post.
United did get one back with 92 minutes on the clock. Callum Whelan got on the end of Georgie Kelly's ball forward and drove into the box. He sat the defender down before firing past Kelly.
United continued to push forward in the remaining minutes but couldn't find the winner and it finished all square.
