Abraham opened the scoring with a rebound after keeper Dean Henderson had fumbled his weak header then doubled the lead after defenders John Egan and Jack O’Connell went for the same ball.
But United came storming back in the second half and Robinson pulled one back from Enda Stevens’ cut back before Zouma’s blunder handed them a draw.
The Blades have made an impressive start to life in the top flight and sit above Chelsea on goal difference after taking five points from four games.
Boss Chris Wilder criticised his players after last week’s loss to Leicester but had only praise for them after this performance.
He said: “We have come to a historic football club and gone toe-to-toe with them.
“After being 2- 0 down a point is a great result. We had two bad mistakes for their goals but that shows you what the character in this team is like.
“Chelsea have world class players at the top of the pitch but our shape was good. We just wanted to play how we play in the second half.
“When we’ve shown confidence and a bit of a strut, we’ve shown that we are here to compete.”

Unai Emery is ready to unleash his full Arsenal of attacking weapons in today’s derby showdown.
Summer signing Nicolas Pepe has been introduced slowly into the side and has spent just 35 minutes on the same pitch as PierreEmerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette.
But Emery has hinted that all three could start as the Gunners bid to blow Spurs out of the water.

“Lacazette has had a problem with his ankle. But he’s getting better and feeling better with his ankle, it’s very positive.
“With Pepe, he came here later than the others but is feeling better in each match. “AubAubameyang is ver y import important – he scored two goals in the f irst two match matches and had two or three goodg actions in the match with Liverpool.” Th The Gunners will try to tar target Spurs down the lef left as Tottenham have tr troubles at right-back. Kyle Walker-Peters a and Juan Foyth are i injured while there a are doubts over Eric D Dier and Serge Aurier. That could force M Mauricio Pochettino to play midf ielder Moussa Mou Sissoko at rightback but the Spurs boss said: “It’sI not a worry, only an issuissue we need to fix. “I’m optimistic we will find the best way to perform. There’s no excuses.”
