Swansea City staged a dramatic second-half comeback to earn a 3-3 draw against Sheffield United in a thrilling Championship clash. The Blades appeared set for victory after Harrison Burrows and substitute Tom Cannon scored to overturn Zan Vipotnik's first-half penalty, giving Sheffield a 3-1 lead.

Gus Hamer opened the scoring with a curling shot in the 16th minute, but Swansea responded through Vipotnik's penalty after Goncalo Franco was fouled. The visitors dominated early in the second half but fell behind when Burrows finished off a swift counter-attack. Cannon's strike from the edge of the area extended the lead before Swansea substitutes Adam Idah and Ji-Sung Eom turned the match.

Idah pulled one back with 15 minutes remaining, then set up Eom for the equaliser in the 82nd minute. The result leaves both mid-table sides with little to play for in the final weeks of the season, though Swansea's resilience from two goals down will please manager Vitor Matos.
