• Referee Adam Herczeg produced a red card as Wilder re-entered the pitch, leaving him absent from the technical area for the second half.
• Sheffield United had led through Tyrese Campbell, but Ross Stewart scored twice shortly after the restart to give Southampton a 2-1 victory.
• No FA disciplinary outcome has been announced, though a former referees’ chief told Football Insider a touchline ban of one to three matches could be considered.
