The midfielder poked home after Nikola Zigic bundled the ball towards the far post - the Serbian risking committing a foul and handball in the process - condemning United to a disappointing 1-1 draw at St Andrews.

Dimitar Berbatov had scored United's goal after 58 minutes but they paid the price for not adding a second.

Reflecting on his late leveller, Bowyer told Sky Sports 1: "Any time you play the top sides, especially here, and come back from behind it's always an achievement.

"It's rolling back the clock a bit for me. I've done it my whole career, nicked goals, and I think I'll do it until I retire.

"We worked really hard and I think we deserved it, but they had a lot of possession."
