The trajectory of the blast put it into the crowd behind the tunnel.
Wilder immediately ran over to apologise to the fan who had been hit by the missile unleashed by the Blades boss.
However, as he returned pitchside leaving the fan with a smile on their face, Wilder was then sent off by unimpressed referee Adam Herczeg.
Wilder appeared to be stunned at the decision initially, but did not protest it before storming down the tunnel.
