Kieffer Moore Fires a Brace as The Red Dragons Outlast The Blades in Eight-Goal Spectacle

Kieffer Moore scored twice as Phil Parkinson's side produced a stunning comeback from a two-goal deficit to overcome his former club Sheffield United in a pulsating 5-3 second-tier encounter.

The forward's sweetly-struck first-time shot opened the scoring, but the hosts equalised just two minutes later courtesy of a deflected own goal.

Bamford's second and a close-range nod appeared to have handed United in command at 3-1, before the towering striker pulled one back with a powerful goal of his own.

Dramatic Second-Half Turnaround

The winger's header early in the second half made it all square, paving the way for the goalscorer to give his side the lead for the first occasion with a quarter of an hour left to play.
