Enes Unal's stoppage-time equaliser rescued a point for Bournemouth and denied Sheffield United a precious three points in their fight for Premier League survival.

The 26-year-old Turkey international, on loan from Getafe, sidefooted in his first goal for the club in the first minute of added time, moments after having a header from a similar position cleared off the line.

The goal was harsh on Sheffield United, who were much improved from Monday's chastening defeat at home to Arsenal and had led 2-0 until the 74th minute at Vitality Stadium.

Gustavo Hamer opened the scoring in the first half after Bournemouth goalkeeper Neto had parried Jayden Bogle's low shot into his path, his goal coming 13 minutes after Dominic Solanke had skied an early penalty for the Cherries.

Solanke won the spot-kick after being caught late by Tom Davies but slipped in the run-up, the ball sailing high over the crossbar after hitting the striker's standing foot.

The visitors were gifted a second goal midway through the second period when Neto punched a corner into the back of Solanke and the ball fell into the path of Jack Robinson, whose close-range shot struck the inside of the post on its way over the line.

Solanke had a goal disallowed by the video assistant referee after handling the ball on the edge of the six-yard area, and Dango Ouattara's emphatic header gave the Cherries hope before Unal completed the fightback.

The point lifts Sheffield United above fellow strugglers Burnley in the relegation zone but they remain 10 points adrift of 17th-placed Nottingham Forest.

"There are mixed emotions," Blades boss Chris Wilder told BBC Match of the Day. "The players were putting bodies everywhere.

"We all had to stand up. This has been one of the hardest weeks we've had in football after what happened on Monday night.

"We're off the bottom. We'll enjoy that [but] I'm not jumping through hoops and no medals are being handed out for being off the bottom.

"We have to show the consistency."
