Sheffield United let a two-goal slip to concede an injury-time equaliser at Bournemouth this afternoon. The Blades were in dreamland at 2-0 ahead through goals from Gus Hamer and Jack Robinson in either half, before Dango Ouattara halved the deficit and fellow substitute Enes Unal completed the comeback for the home side in injury time for 2-2.
Victory would have given United a real boost going into the international break on an afternoon which saw Dominic Solanke miss a first-half penalty and later have a goal ruled out by VAR for handball. Here's how we rated United's players on the south coast...
5. Auston Trusty 6.5
Will have felt the pressure after a tough afternoon against Arsenal but was much more like it here, going about his business with the minimum of fuss and getting in the way of so many attempted Bournemouth passes to cut out the danger before it really developed before the late heartbreak
6. Ben Osborn 6
Given a real difficult task of keeping quiet the lively Semenyo and stuck to it admirably, never giving the Cherries winger too much space to cause the damage we know he can down the right. Covered some real ground and will certainly sleep tonight, although he may feel he could have got the right side of Unal at the back post before he nicked a point for the Cherries at the death?
7. Oliver Arblaster 6.5
Followed up his Premier League bow on Monday with a full debut at Dean Court and justified the call with a composed display. He was solid rather than spectacular but used the ball nicely and didn't look overawed at all by the type of occasion he will have dreamed of ever since he fell in love with United all those years ago. Almost capped it with a goal as he broke free in the second half but Neto pushed his effort wide. Replaced by Norwood late on
8. Tom Davies 6
Kept his place after Monday night and didn't have the best of starts, losing his battles in midfield and the ball before a rash tackle saw him give away an early penalty which Solanke slipped and ballooned over the bar. He did improve a bit after that and showed some nice touches under pressure before making way at the break for Vini Souza
