Sheffield United players face each other in a heated fight that is controlled by the VAR

Sheffield United's dismal season has begun to implode after Vinicius Souza and Jack Robinson attacked each other during their match against Wolves.

The Premier League's bottom team is on the brink of another defeat when two of their own teammates started a shoving fight.

Chris Wilder's side found themselves at a disadvantage again after Pablo Sarabia's header put Wolves ahead after half an hour.

Tensions between United players threatened to boil over after Souza and Robinson clashed in a scene reminiscent of Lee Bowyer and Kieron Dyer.

Following a Pedro Neto shot that nearly doubled Wolves' lead, Souza and Robinson exchanged a brief exchange around each other's defence.

The two players then went toe-to-toe before Souza delivered a tame slap to his defender's face.

Robinson pushed his midfielder before Blades captain Anel Ahmedhodzic stepped up to stop the fight before the situation escalated.

Referee Darren Bond brought the players together for a chat while the VAR reviewed the red card for violent conduct.

Both Souza and Robinson eventually avoided being booked entirely, but problems continue to mount at the bottom of the top-flight club.
