Fulham fought back from two goals down to earn a thrilling 3-3 draw at Sheffield United on Saturday after Bobby Decordova-Reid and Rodrigo Muniz struck late in the second half to earn a point against the bottom side.

The Brazilian striker scored from Adama Traoré's floating cross three minutes into added time, salvaging a point for the visitors.

United, who earned their first home point since January after the second-half goal fest, remain seven points from the safety zone with 15 from 29 matches. Fulham are in 12th place with 39 points from 30 games.

"I'm delighted with the attitude but obviously the result is difficult to take," United manager Chris Wilder told the BBC.

"Being 3-1 up, you expect your team to see the game out. The goals are poor from our point of view, with a set piece yet again."

United broke the deadlock when Oli McBurnie's cross from the left found Ben Brereton Díaz in the box for a tap-in after 58 minutes.

But Fulham equalised four minutes later through João Palhinha's header off Andreas Pereira's corner.

McBurnie restored United's lead in the 68th, with Brereton Diaz returning the favour with an assist two minutes before he got his second goal off Gustavo Hamer's cross from the left.

Celebrations had already begun in the stands at Bramall Lane but substitute Bobby Decordova-Reid, who replaced Pereira a minute earlier, scored from outside the box in the 86th minute, bringing Fulham back into the game before Muniz's equaliser.

"He (Muniz) has been special and it's a special moment for me as a coach," Fulham manager Marco Silva said. "He is working really hard. He is on fire, not just because he scored that amazing goal.

"When we're losing 3-1 we showed the team spirit and belief and they refused to lose the game and fought after it."

United next visit Liverpool on Thursday, while Fulham visit Nottingham Forest on Tuesday.
