      Unal's late goal denies Sheffield Utd the win in Bournemouth

      Bournemouth came from a two-goal deficit to draw 2-2 against Sheffield United at the Vitality Stadium.

      The Cherries were granted a penalty in the 14th minute when Tom Davies brought down Dominic Solanke. However, Solanke's attempt went awry as he lost his footing and ballooned the ball over the crossbar with his standing left foot.

      Despite an outstanding save from Sheffield United's goalkeeper Ivo Grbic in the 25th minute denying Antoine Semenyo's low shot, the visitors took the lead against the run of play two minutes later. 

      Gustavo Hamer capitalised on a rebound from Neto's save of Jaydon Bogle's shot, firing it into the roof of the Bournemouth net.

      Grbic made another remarkable save, deflecting Semenyo's powerful header from a Ryan Christie cross behind for a corner.

      Sheffield United doubled their lead in the 64th minute when Neto punched the corner against Solanke's back, and Jack Robinson seized the opportunity at the far post, firing home off the inside of the post, confirmed by the goal decision system.

      Bournemouth believed they had narrowed the gap moments later, but Solanke's close-range effort was disallowed for handball after a lengthy VAR review.

      The Cherries did manage to pull a goal back in the 74th minute when Dango Ouattara headed in Christie's corner from close range. 

      Despite Ouattara missing a subsequent free header, Enes Unal scored at the far post in added time, breaking Sheffield United's hearts and denying them two points.

      This result leaves Bournemouth in 13th place in the table, while Sheffield United has moved off the bottom spot, now sitting in 19th place and trailing safety by 10 points.

      Wow, what a rollercoaster of emotions! From disappointment with Solanke's penalty miss to excitement with Semenyo's shot on goal, I couldn't keep up! But our goalie Grbic really saved the day with some incredible saves. Proud of my team for never giving up and fighting back to secure that draw.

      Wow, what a game! Bournemouth really showed their spirit by coming back from a two-goal deficit. Disappointing that we missed a penalty, but great effort by Solanke. Grbic was on fire with those saves!

      Wow, what a comeback by Bournemouth! The team showed so much determination and passion to come back from a two-goal deficit. Even though Solanke missed the penalty, they didn't let it bring them down. And that save by Grbic, incredible!

      Wow, what a disappointing start for Bournemouth. They had a great opportunity with the penalty but couldn't convert. But I have to give credit to Sheffield United for their goal. That was a tough save for Grbic.
