    GOAL - Sheff Utd 2-1 Bournemouthpublished at 83 mins

    John Lundstram

    The Blades have done it!

    And it's the substitutes who John Lundstram who produces some brilliant foot work but guiding the ball beyond Aaron Ramsdale into the corner of the net.

    A lovely finish in front of the Kop set up by fellow substitute Lys Mousset.

    Sheffield United love a draw.

    They've managed seven on the road in the top flight this season and they're heading for one at home unless they can score a late winner.

    Oli McBurnie could not sort his feet out quickly enough and then Lys Mousset got his shot on target but had three players to beat on the line.

    This is really opening up.

    Substitute Lys Mousset has a close range attempt brilliantly blocked by Adam Smith before Bournemouth counter and it requires a strong fist from Dean Henderson to stop the visitors from scoring another.

    This is nicely poised.

    Around 15 minutes of normal time remaining.

    Are we in for a dramatic finish?

    Here comes Joshua King, Bournemouth’s all-time record Premier League goalscorer with 45 goals.

    Last week the Cherries rejected an offer from Manchester United after boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer had enquired about his fellow Norwegian, before signing ex-Watford man Odion Ighalo.

    Cherries boss Eddie Howe said it had been a tough few days since for the forward. What can King do for Bournemouth?

    Both teams have made changes.

    Joshua King is finally on for Harry Wilson while the Blades have replaced goalscorer Billy Sharp with Lys Mousset.

  8. GREAT SAVE!published at 73 mins

    Sheff Utd 1-1 Bournemouth

    Brilliant save from Henderson!

    He's not had a lot to do but he's alert as Ryan Fraser connects sweetly to send the ball towards the top corner of the net only for Henderson to use both hands to claw it away.

    Dean Henderson's kicks are H-U-G-E. The Sheffield United keeper's clearances are landing deep inside Bournemouth's half.

    Just looking at Sheffield United's two wider centre-backs, they are getting further and further forward.

    The Blades are looking much the fitter side and Bournemouth players like Dan Gosling are blowing hard, mainly because they are chasing shadows.

    And just as I finished writing that there were no sign of any changes from Bournemouth, Joshua King rises to his feet and readies himself to come on for the first time in 2020.

    No sign of any changes from Eddie Howe so far. He will be pleased with how well his side have repelled Sheffield United but can the Cherries fashion out a chance of their own?

    Lundstram is presented with a glorious chance to make an immediate impact but the substitute cannot find any power after Chris Basham does well to tee-up his team-mate inside the penalty area.

    Sheff Utd 1-1 Bournemouth

    Sander Berge's hand makes contact with Diego Rico's face. The Bournemouth player lets out an almighty scream but, with the Cherries on the attack, play continues and Nathan Ake hooks just wide.

    That's Berge's last moment of action on his home debut as Chris Wilder makes his first change and sends on John Lundstram.

    It’s not often you see a player and opposing manager square up to each other on the touchline, but that’s just what happened between Bournemouth’s Andrew Surman and Blades manager Chris Wilder, with both men getting a yellow card and with loads of players from both sides getting involved.

    There was some boxing at the Sheffield Arena yesterday with Kell Brook fighting and some home fans wanted some more action with a chant of “Wilder, knock him out,” followed by “Chrissy Wilder, he’s one of our own”.

    Indeed he is, a lifelong Blades fan, former ball boy, ex-player and captain and now taking them to heights they couldn’t have dreamed of three years ago.

    Anyway, back to the football.

    Adam Smith creates space for himself just outside the Blades penalty area before having a pop. It's still on its way to Hillsborough.

    Looking at Eddie Howe on the touchline with his assistant, they are hardly able to get out and are getting swamped.

    Do they change the personnel or the system? It is looking very dangerous for Bournemouth at the moment.

    Sheffield United are dominating possession. Bournemouth need to change something.

    This is a highly competitive match.

    After his shoving match with Andrew Surman, Chris Wilder has taken his seat in the dugout to cool down.

    Fight, fight, fight...

    A high challenge by John Egan sends Dan Gosling sprawling to the floor and that sparks an angry reaction from both sets of players.

    Andrew Surman and Blades boss Chris Wilder get involved in a shoving match and both are shown yellow cards.

    How long before VAR sends off a manager?
