The Blades led 3-1 with four minutes of regulation time remaining afterও Ben Brereton Diaz’s second-half double sandwiched Oli McBurnie’s effort.

Joao Palhinha had headed Fulham level after Brereton Diaz’s opener, while two stunning finishes from substitute Bobby De Cordova-Reid and Rodri🦂go Muniz – the latter’s in stoppage time – rescued the Londoners a point.

Wilder, 🧸whose side had conceded 21 goals in their four previous home matches, said: “When you score three goals at home in the Premier League, to only get a draw, I think that’s the di꧂sappointing aspect of it.

“Obviously the narrativ🍌e from everybody was home form, goals ▨conceded and being out of the game after 25 minutes, so we had to make sure we did something about it.

“We had to get a 💞foothold in the game, so first base was reached at half-time and the message at half-time was we just needed to show a bit ♏more quality, more belief, enjoy the ball a little bit more, and they did.

“We scored three good goals ♉from our poin💃t of view. The flip side is another set-piece has hurt us and then two incredible finishes get them something out of the game.”

Brereton Diaz and McBurnie, whღo had a second effort after the inter🐓val ruled out for offside, combined with deadly precision for the Blades’ first two goals.

Wilder added: 🤪“I’m sure if we had bee🦄n able to stick those two together for a little bit more time we would have reaped the rewards of two really good players, who obviously have an understanding.”

Fulham head coach Marco Silva also admitted it had been a bitter-sweet afternoon for his side after they had domi🌃nated🙈 before Brereton Diaz’s 58th-minute opener.

Silva🍌 said: “I have to say it was an exciting game for sure for the people who were here, but I have to be honest, it was a disappointing result for us. Clearl✃y disappointing.

“When you are dominanܫt from the first minute like we were, the team who created more clear chances to win the game – it is disappointing.

“Of course the reaction, I have to say, as a team it was fantastic. As a team we ꦓrefused to lose this game because of the way we dominated.

“We showed the quality to come back from 3-1, scoring two gr♌eat goals 🍒and creating more chances even to win the game in the last minutes.”

Muniz struck the woodwork twice, either side of the interval, before Fulham fell behi♏nd and the Brazilian st🌃riker has now scored eight in as many top-flight appearances.

Silva added: 🌸“It was unlucky for him with two off the post, but he kept his composure and trusted in himself.

“He scored൲ a great goal to help the team get a point and there’s much more to come from him.”
