From top to third to second to top to second again . What a perfect game to represent such an absurd season . Bournemouth were out of it . Then they were in it . Then it all went bonkers and Eddie Howe was caught between feelings of regret and unhappiness with Paul Tierney , the referee . The stripped-down fact is that it finished 2-2 . The glorious detail is that Bournemouth trailed to a Kieran Lee sucker punch , levelled through Yann Kermorgant and then had a man sent off . A problem ? Not really . Chris Maguire converts an injury time penalty so salvage a draw for Sheffield Wednesday at Dean Court . Maguire celebrates his late , late strike as the Owls held Bournemouth to a draw on their home turf . BOURNEMOUTH : Boruc , Francis , Elphick , Cook , ( Jones 64 ) , Daniels , Ritchie , Arter , Surman , Pugh ( Smith 57 ) , Kermorgant ( Ward 81 ) , Wilson . Subs not used : Camp , Gosling , Pitman , Fraser . Booked : Cook . Red card : Francis . SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY : Kirkland , Buxton , Lees , Zayatte ( Vermijl 45 ) , Helan Hutchinson ( Maghoma 15 ) , Melo Silva , Maguire , Lee , Isgrove ( Nuhiu 63 ) , Lavery . Subs not used : Westwood , May , McCabe , Bus . Booked : Buxton , Helan , Isgrove . Referee : Paul Tierney . Attendance:11,280 . Matt Ritchie scored the kind of goal that belongs in the Premier League to put them in front . Job done ? Not nearly . Chris Maguire scored a penalty for Wednesday deep into stoppage time and three point became one ; a big step towards the top flight became a stumble . Howe was left 'heartbroken ' , but also frustrated , not least because he felt Callum Wilson deserved a penalty in the second half when he appeared to be fouled by Lewis Buxton . Bournemouth have had 15 penalties this season and Howe suggested that might be counting against them , saying in a radio interview : 'It looked like the referees have come together and talked about Callum Wilson and said don ’ t give him any penalties because Bournemouth have had too many this season and we don ’ t want them to have any more . ' His broader disappointment was also clear , having blown a major opportunity to keep top spot in a thrilling division . He said : 'It really is tough to take . That is why we love the game – the drama and twists and turns . 'The pain and frustration we need to transfer into motivation . This is our most successful season but we have had low moments . We have only two games and our objective is clear . We have to use this as motivation to move forward now . We have to respond . ' Lee had put Wednesday in front with a 36th-minute header before Kermorgant levelled midway through the second half . A draw at that stage might have seemed fair but Simon Francis was sent off for two yellow cards and Bournemouth were back on the ropes . Cue bedlam . Ritchie launched a shot into the top corner after Andrew Surman laid off a free-kick but Maguire added to the madness in stoppage time . Wednesday manager Stuart Grey could n't help but chuckle . He said : 'It took six and a half hours to get down here but we got on with it . If we left without anything it would have been disappointing . ' Kieran Lee ( second right ) celebrates with his team after his 36th minute header put the visitors ahead . Yann Kermorgant ( second left equalises for the Cherries with 20 minutes of the contest remaining . Bournemouth 's Simon Francis is dismissed by referee Paul Tierney in the 78th minute . Matt Ritchie races away to celebrate after his 85th minute free kick put the home side ahead for the first time .
Bournemouth are now second in the Championship following their relegation . Kieran Lee came Wednesday into the game with a 36th minute winner . Yann Kermorgant equalised with 21 minutes remaining . Matt Ritchie seems to have sealed the victory for the Cherries late on . But Chris ##gan had the final say with his last - minute penalty strike .
