The Kildare-born Lyons levelled the game at 1-1 with a clever finish with the outside of his boot on 82 minutes, cancelling out Matty Pearson's first half strike.

Anel Ahmedhodzic had put the Blades ahead but Paul Mullin hauled National League Wrexham level with a penalty.

However, Mullin then saw a second penalty saved by United goalkeeper Adam Davies and breakaway goals from Sharp and Berge wrapped up a 3-1 win.
