Kieffer Moore scored twice as Phil Parkinson's side mounted a remarkable fightback from 3-1 down to defeat his former club Sheffield United in a breathtaking 5-3 Championship contest.

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

A quickfire double from Bamford and a close-range nod seemingly have put the visitors in a comfortable lead at 3-1, until Moore reduced the arrears with a thumping goal of his own.
