Rodrigo Muniz has scored eight goals in his past eight Premier League games
Rodrigo Muniz scored with a spectacular injury-time bicycle kick as Fulham came back from two goals down to deny bottom-of-the-table Sheffield United a vital victory.
In the third of 14 scheduled additional minutes at the end of regulation time, Muniz connected with Adama Traore's cross in an incredible second half at Bramall Lane.
Sheffield United threw away a two-goal advantage to draw 2-2 at Bournemouth last time out and the Blades let slip another glorious winning chance, having been 3-1 ahead at the 86-minute mark.
But Fulham substitute Bobby de Cordova-Reid made an instant impact by shooting into the net from 25 yards to set up a frantic finish before Muniz grabbed his eighth goal in eight games.
The Blades had looked on course to secure what would have been only their fourth Premier League win of the season and went ahead through Ben Brereton Diaz, on loan from Villarreal, in the 58th minute.
Fulham's Tosin Adarabioyo had given the ball away and Oli McBurnie produced an excellent cross from the left with the outside of his right boot, with Brereton Diaz converting.
The visitors equalised four minutes later when an unmarked Joao Palhinha headed in from Andreas Pereira's right-wing corner.
But Chris Wilder's team scored twice in a three-minute spell as they looked to have taken the game away from the London side.
Brereton Diaz pulled the ball back for McBurnie to put the hosts back in front in the 68th minute, and Chile international Brereton Diaz made it 3-1 by heading in Gustavo Hamer's cross.
The hosts thought they had got a fourth when McBurnie finished, but it was ruled out by a video assistant referee (VAR) decision, which showed Vini Souza was standing in an offside position and blocking goalkeeper Bernd Leno's view.
If that goal had been given, the Blades would surely have gone on to win, but once more they could not hold on to their advantage as Fulham fought back to leave with a point.
Both sides reflect on missed opportunity
Late leveller difficult for Blades to take - Wilder
The result leaves the Blades seven points behind Nottingham Forest in 17th and Luton in 18th, but Wilder will be again reflecting on a missed opportunity.
They had only scored 24 goals in their previous 28 league matches and were heading for one of their best results of the season before the late drama.
Once again, defensive mistakes proved to be their undoing.
Palhinha was given far too much space for Fulham's first, while Wilder will also be unhappy with the second goal conceded, before Muniz's moment of brilliance.
Indeed, Fulham could have snatched a winner at the end, only for Ivo Grbic to deny Tom Cairney in the 16th minute of additional time.
Sheffield United 3-3 Fulham: Marco Silva says 'special' Rodrigo Muniz is on fire
Sheffield United have now conceded 24 goals in their past five home matches in all competitions.
This result comes after they lost 5-2 at home to Brighton in the fourth round of the FA Cup, suffered successive 5-0 league defeats by Aston Villa and Brighton and were hammered 6-0 by Arsenal.
Fulham came 10th in the Premier League last season and Marco Silva's side are 12th, still with an outside chance of qualifying for next season's Europa Conference League.
As it stands, finishing seventh would be enough to qualify, although if Championship side Coventry City or mid-table Premier League team Chelsea won the FA Cup then Fulham would need to come in the top six.
Fulham are five points behind seventh-placed West Ham, but just like Sheffield United, will be wondering how they did not win this game.
