Colchester United fought back twice to secure a 2-2 draw at Sheffield United on the opening day of the new football season.
Clive Platt headed home Karl Duguid's cross in the final minute at Bramall Lane to round off a fine sweeping move and ensure the U's an excellent point, in their first Coca-Cola Championship game.
James Beattie gave the Blades the lead midway through the second half but Kevin McLeod levelled less than a minute later, tapping home Mark Yeates' low cross from close range.
Substitute Michael Tonge struck home with eight minutes to go but Platt earned Colchester a share of the spoils.
Colchester manager Geraint Williams said: "My players hate losing and I felt that our new boys cottoned on to the team spirit that we have.
"To come back not once, but twice was a great effort and I was pleased with everyone."
