Bournemouth missed the chance to go top of the Sky Bet Championship table as Todd Kane's stoppage-time equaliser saw them held 2-2 at home by Coventry after having Jefferson Lerma sent off.
Scott Parker's men, who had Republic of Ireland Under-21 international Gavin Kilkenny in midfield, took a two-goal lead via efforts from Jaidon Anthony in the 45th minute and Philip Billing in the 66th.
Lerma was then dismissed in the 68th minute following a tackle on Matt Godden, who subsequently pulled a goal back with five minutes of normal time remaining.
And Coventry ended up securing a point courtesy of Kane's finish in the fifth minute of additional time.
It means the Cherries remain second, a point behind leaders Fulham, who earlier on Saturday had been held 1-1 at Preston.

Elsewhere, Hull beat Millwall 2-1 at home, with George Honeyman and Ryan Longman scoring for the Tigers either side Tom Bradshaw's effort, and Lukas Jutkiewicz's late goal sealed Birmingham City a 1-0 win against Blackpool at St Andrew's.
