(Reuters) - Bournemouth denied Sheffield United their second victory of the year in the Premier League when they fought back from two goals down to secure a 2-2 draw at the Vitality Stadium on Saturday.

Gustavo Hamer gave United a first-half lead when he pounced on a rebound and struck with his right foot in the 27th minute, and defender Jack Robinson doubled the advantage minutes after half-time to give Chris Wilder's side hope of securing three points.

But substitute Dango Ouattara pulled one back for Bournemouth in the 74th minute before Enes Unal scored in second-half added time to secure a point for the home side.

The result was just enough to move United off the bottom of the table, up one spot to 19th - a point above Burnley who have a game in hand, while Bournemouth are 13th on 32 points.
