A stunning bicycle-kick equaliser from Rodrigo Muniz prevented Sheffield United from clinching three points against Fulham. Elsewhere, Nottingham Forest moved out of the relegation zone with a 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace, their first match since being docked points for breaching financial rules, while Everton continued their winless run with a 2-1 defeat to Bournemouth.
Fulham denied Sheffield United victory at the last with a spectacular injury-time equaliser from Rodrigo Muniz.
United looked set to gain ground on relegation rivals Burnley, but took just one point from the match after two late goals from Fulham.
The encounter at Bramall Lane sprung into life after a goalless first half, with Ben Brereton Diaz opening the scoring for Sheffield United in the 58th minute.
Joao Palhinha equalised for Fulham just four minutes later, heading in Andreas Pereira’s corner, but The Blades hit back with two goals in quick succession.
Brereton Diaz was involved in both, pulling the ball back for Oli McBurnie to score, before meeting Gustavo Hamer’s cross for United’s third in the 70th minute.
The hosts were unable to keep hold of their two goal lead, however, with substitute Bobby de Cordova-Reid making an instant impact for Fulham with a 25-yard strike.
It was three minutes into the 14 minutes of stoppage time that Muniz scored his eighth goal in as many games, pulling off a stunning bicycle kick for the equaliser.
Sheffield United remain bottom of the Premier League, three points off 19th-placed Burnley – who held Chelsea to a 2-2 draw – and seven points off Luton in 18th. Fulham sit in 12th.
Nottingham Forest moved out of the relegation zone after a 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace at the City Ground.
It was Forest’s first match since being docked four points for breaching Premier League profit and sustainability rules, and they fell behind as Jean-Philippe Mateta struck for Palace in the 11th minute.
Chris Wood nodded in the equaliser just after the hour mark, meeting Morgan Gibbs-White’s cross to score past Palace goalkeeper Dean Henderson.
Forest are now 17th, above Luton on goal difference, while Palace are 14th.
It was a disappointing afternoon for Everton, who went without a Premier League win for a club record-equalling 12th consecutive game.
A late own goal from Seamus Coleman gave Bournemouth a 2-1 victory after the hosts’ opener from Dominic Solanke in the 64th minute was cancelled out by Beto in the 87th minute.
Coleman dealt badly with an incoming Bournemouth cross, chesting the ball into the back of the net under no pressure.
The Toffees have not won in the Premier League since December 16, and now sit just three points clear of the relegation zone in 16th.
The afternoon’s other fixtures saw Newcastle edge West Ham in a 4-3 thriller, and Tottenham narrowly beat Luton 2-1.
